Trees along Wanstead High Street will be pruned before the end of the year, with two dead trees to be felled and replaced in January.

“Highway trees in Wanstead Village were inspected earlier this year, and pruning work was recommended. This will mainly be to remove low branches and cut them back from street lights and buildings, but some trees will require more work and so will lose height or be pollarded,” said Councillor Jo Blackman.

Council-maintained street trees are inspected annually for safety.
