The Arb Mag has recently published an article regarding Hart District Council prosecuting Southern Gas Networks over damaged tree roots at a development site in Fleet. The trees on the site were protected by a TPO (Tree Preservation Order) that was created in 2007 and confirmed in 2008. Southern Gas Networks were fine £1000 and ordered to pay costs of £1200 and a £15 victim surcharge.  View the article in full below.

The ARB Mag, which is a source of current reference for the arboricultural profession in the UK, published an article in their Autumn 2011 issue discussing the problems in undertaking construction work in proximity to trees without damaging them. In their Winter 2011 issue they have published an article on Geosynthetics CellWeb TRP and the solution it provides with regards to this. The article looks in depth at CellWeb TRP's application as a no-dig solution and the trials it has gone through as well as the biological aspects of using CellWeb TRP.

We are delighted to announce that our Olympic themed Charity Fundraiser in aid of Motor Neurone Disease was a fantastic success. Through our Olympic themed events and a raffle we managed to total £1269.30 which our Chairman Chris Foxton then generously doubled to make a grand total of £2538.60. Our day opened up with the Wii Tournament in which everyone in the office took their turn at three different events. Throughout the day we had continuous events running such as Basketball, WellyWanging and Hulahooping. After going head to head a young Becky Woods triumphed over a giant neck-hulahooping Cockroach named Justin Bates to win first prize. We closed the day with a Olympic themed quiz in which a father daughter duo, Kate & Bob Willson, were crowned Quiz Olympians of the year! We had some welcome visitors supporting the day in the form of Steve Midgaff & Martin Smith from MPS. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the companies that without their support the day would have not been possible: Waterstones KH Hair Nibblers The Cake Shop Born Extreme Rebecca Dawe Studios Fever Snowdome Leicester Tigers Lakeside Bowling Sam Neale Car Valetting Designer Enhancements Body Wize Gym Entregraty Greenfix Green Ink Bonar Johnathan Brutnall AE Proctor Premier Logistics Lowes of Dundee Hinckley Leisure Centre The Lime Kiln Kyngs Golf and Country Club Reed Consultants Harvester Rok Builders Polypipe Ambleside Club
