Tree clean up continues in Bromley following Storm Eunice damage

By Friday evening, Bromley Council had dealt with around 165 incidents, however numbers jumped to more than 300 by Tuesday.

Clear up is underway across the town and some roads are still closed, while certain areas have been taped off for safety.

The Council is advising residents to report any tree-related emergencies by phone so that they can be prioritised in order of urgency.

The number for reporting incidents is 0300 303 8658.

As high winds continue across London, the Council has also warned that more trees could fall at any time.

The Council is responding to incidents as they are reported and will reach out to tree owners at a later date.

Councillor William Huntington-Thresher, Executive Councillor for Environment said: “Our borough is known for its trees and the magnificence they bring.

“In absolute terms, the number of trees that have been blown over is relatively small compared to the numbers of street trees we have, but nevertheless, it is sad to know that we have lost a number of mature trees. “In some of the examples, it was nothing short of miraculous that people were not seriously injured.

“A big thank you to our tree team crews who have responded magnificently to this almost unprecedented situation. “Thank you too to residents who have taken the time to report fallen trees and to our street cleaning teams clearing the branches and detritus the storms left us. “Our parks were open at the weekend albeit with some areas taped off for safety but it is still possible that not all dangerous trees have been discovered and therefore please continue to report problems you come across.”
