Havelock Road Allotments – River Wandle boundary | Spring 2025 | Tree management will involve pollarding selected Cherry, Ash, Poplar, and Sycamore trees, and felling unstable trees for coppice rotation. These measures aim to reduce the risk of wind throw, tree collapse, and soil erosion while preserving root plates for stability. The works will also improve habitat value and biodiversity within the allotments. A 3-metre strip along the riverside of the allotments will be required for machinery access, and plot holders will be given advance notice to avoid planting crops or temporarily relocate sheds near the riverbank. The Environment Agency has emphasised the importance of keeping trees stable to ensure river safety. |
