Split tree felled

| An ash tree was felled on Hylton Road. |
A TREE had to be taken down because of a fault which was causing it to split.
The ash tree on Hylton Road, Worcester, was removed by tree officers on Friday morning (May 16).
Ian Yates, parks and cemeteries manager at Worcester City Council said the tree was not taken down because of health and safety reasons.
The tree will be replaced by a new one in the autumn.
Mr Yates said: "The tree was spoiled and would have split in two at some point and we would have been left with an awful-looking tree.
"Rather than leaving it as it was, we took the decision to remove it."
