Council to inspect trees after man hurt by falling branch
A man who was hospitalised after a heavy tree branch fell on him has urged action so no one else is hurt.
Ken Williams, 75, was visiting relatives in North Baddlesley in Hampshire when the branch fell onto him and railings on 4 July.
He was taken to Southampton General Hospital after the accident at the corner of Ringwood Drive and Seymour Lane.
Hampshire County Council has said it will now inspect trees nearby.
Mr Williams, who lives in South Wales, said: “About a week [after the accident] I went up there and [council staff] were cutting it up. I said what are you doing to do about it? It’s down to you, isn’t it?
“They said: ‘It isn’t really [the council’s] problem.'”
But Council Leader Councillor Keith Mans said on Thursday that although the land is not owned or managed by the authority, work will be carried out to see if there is an “imminent danger to highway users”.
He added: “The county council does have the power to serve a legal notice on the owner of a private tree that abuts the public highway to address an identified safety issue, and in some cases immediate action can be taken if there is an imminent danger to highway users.
“A Highways arboriculturist will be attending this site to inspect the trees in question, and appropriate action will be taken if any issues are observed.”

Hampshire County Council is to take over the running of public health services on the Isle of Wight.
The authority will deliver services including drug and substance misuse services, mental wellbeing support and sexual health assistance from next month, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
The move, which has been requested by Isle of Wight Council, will not save any money but is aimed at ensuring the "best possible outcomes" for residents.
