Dartmouth Park is located in Sandwell MBC. The park is contiguous with Sandwell Valley and, according to a notice erected on the road side of the park, is about to be 'restored'.
Readers may recall that Sandwell, proud possessors of the Green Flag, has, nevertheless, a predeliction for chopping down trees.
True to form, Sandwell celebrated the start of the 'restoration' of Dartmouth Park by chopping down a few more trees.
But Sandwell didn't take any chances. This had to be good - 'quality' being Sandwell's watchword. So, a specialist arborealist firm was called in to take care of this particular piece of restoration.
And one can see why Sandwell, with its reputation to safeguard, has gone to the expense of ensuring that the job was done with the utmost care. (Did I mention some time before that Sandwell was reported by the Sunday Times as being one of the worst 4 councils last year, or the year before, or some time?)
No doubt Sandwell spent some considerable time and effort in selecting the right firm for the job.
I wonder how many years it takes to produce a skilled arborealist who can pollard trees with such sensitivity as is now displayed at Dartmouth Park?
