B&NES Council has two ash trees to fell in the car park at The Shallows in Saltford, required due to Ash Die Back.
One of the trees to be felled will require a complete carpark closure for safety on 17 and 18 December 2024.
One other tree will take one day to fell but will only require half of the carpark to be closed, this will be on 19 December.
B&NES Council says that they will display signs at the car park in the near future so that users are aware.
The car park and green space adjacent to it in Saltford is owned and managed by B&NES Council. SPC thanks B&NES Council for making it aware of the temporary closure of the car park.

Where possible, we try to plant new trees to replace the ones that need to be felled’.
