We got a local tree surgeon in (in fact three of them) to climb the ash tree and remove any dead branches one of which was just hanging over another neighbours garden. Be under no illusion that if one of these branches fell on you it would kill you outright, they might be dead but they are still very heavy and solid.

After a couple of hours of shinning up the tree in high winds all the dangerous branches had been cut down and added to the pile of wood ready to burn next winter.

Come the autumn we will need to get these three, tree fellers in again to inspect the other trees and make sure they are safe. We don't wish to upset the neighbours.
