Absolutely outstanding job done today by A Binns & Co.Ltd removing the condemned willow tree and a few more smaller trees with poor health here at Corcoran Close. Thank you all for your hard work. Onwards and upwards to improving our grounds.
I thought I would share some pictures from around the scheme, lots more work needed but it's great to see the difference over the past year.

🌳 Willow Tree Removal Update 🌳

Just a quick update regarding the willow tree removal.

Due to adverse weather conditions following the start of the work, along with Scheme Manager leave, the completion of the tree felling has been rescheduled and is now expected to take place on 09/06/26, subject to suitable weather conditions.

Given the size and complexity of the removal, it is important that Housing 21 staff are available on site and that conditions are safe for both the contractors and the surrounding area.

On a positive note, the tree chippings have been put to good use around the scheme, and Heywood in Bloom 2025 have also benefited from them, using the chippings to create pathways at their community allotment.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while this work is completed.
