REDCHEQHEN Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Got a letter through the door from Network rail - they were going to 'do something' with the trees and vegetation along the railway line that runs behind my home. I was going on holiday - work was due to start October 2nd. Well, it's still ongoing - they've decimated the trees and removed 99% of them. I thought they would be thinning them out. Behind me is a school - never ever been visible - I now see the school fence - which means they will now see me - so no privacy there! Nesting crows, magpies, wood pigeons - with no homes. I just can't believe what they've done - they've left the damned weeds on my side and the marauding brambles and the horsetail weeds to run havoc. It just doesn't make sense - I've made a complaint, but it's a bit late for the trees. Anybody else had dealings with the likes of this (I wouldn't care but I've been trying for 3 years to get the council to prune a diseased tree in the front of my house that belongs to them - but been told it is not a priority....)
Bryngwynt Lofts Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 I think you will find network rail get lads to come in and clear the site.They usually don’t even take the dropped trees either.Unfortunatley with you not been around while they were the works,they would have just dropped it all.Im sure if you were around they would have listened to you,and not chopped them back as much.They will reshoot next year but that does not help you short term.
REDCHEQHEN Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Posted October 24, 2017 They've used a mulching machine for the branches etc - and that has been spraying out. It's currently eerily quiet though..........

REDCHEQHEN Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Posted October 24, 2017 How it was last week - when I thought they'd finished 2. How it is now 3. How it was
