A century-old plane tree in Stroud Green, London, is at risk of felling by Haringey Council, alleging it causes property damage. Dr. Gio Iozzi, among those advocating for its preservation, argues that attributing structural damage solely to the tree is unjust and environmentally damaging. She suggests that other factors like soil movement and weather conditions are at play. The environmental group, Haringey Tree Protectors, supports Dr. Iozzi's stance and encourages public feedback on the importance of preserving mature trees in the community. Residents have until June 17 to respond to the council's notice.
"It feels like the tree is still the fall guy in this situation and it is just morally, ethically, environmentally wrong."
"This healthy tree has been implicated in damage... it has been blamed for all the other factors that contribute to subsidence in houses."
