Another reminder from us about the importance of getting your trees surveyed and that they are your responsibility.

Here are two links to The Times and The Standard. They concern a celebrity interior designer facing a police investigation after a former soldier, explorer and tree surgeon(!) was crushed to death beside her £8m estate.  He had been a passenger in a car travelling on the road alongside her estate when the tree fell on the car, killing him and insuring the other passengers.
