Contractor that cut back 500-year-old oak in London park identified Document shows partial felling last year, which led to legal action against Toby Carvery, was done by Ground Control

#Whitewebbs

The work was done by Ground Control, which describes itself as “a leading maintenance business and biodiversity expert”.

Ground Control has a specialist team of arborists but sources claim the work was led by the grounds maintenance team.

Toby Carvery owner faces eviction from north London site for felling ancient oak Felling of 500-year-old oak has provoked fury from public and Enfield council, which leases land to Mitchells & Butlers

#Whitewebbs

"Mitchells & Butlers have failed to engage meaningfully with the council or to make reparations... We ask that M&B issues a public apology and provides financial reparations for the irreversible damage & compensate the council for the costs incurred"

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"I'm calling for a register of ‘iconic’ trees – from the Ankerwycke Yew in Berkshire, the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, the Fortingall Yew in Perthshire, the Crowhurst Yew..."

Must include what Spurs/M&B/Toby CarveUp has left of the #Whitewebbs Oak.

"Spaceship lands in the middle of Forty Hall and #Whitewebbs Park?

No! These blinding lights are from telescopic floodlights that are part of another RETROSPECTIVE planning application by Spurs

These floodlights are extremely harmful for wildlife, including bats, and harm the Conservation Area."

#Whitewebbs

Stand up to the Spurs/Mitchells& Butler/TobyCarveUp conglomerate & see what will be lost if the Spurs plan goes ahead.

I can recommend the walk from Turkey Street Station along the Turkey Brook to get there.

Donald Trump to pardon UK billionaire and former Tottenham owner Joe Lewis Joe Lewis was fined $5m and given three years probation by New York judge over ‘brazen’ insider trading scheme

#Whitewebbs

Lewis owns the largest stake in one of tUK’s biggest operators of pubs & restaurants (& Toby Carvery), Mitchells & Butlers...

Lewis transferred his majority ownership interest in Spurs to a family trust in 2022, the year before he was charged.

Another part of this murky business conglomerate owns Spurs & wants to rip up part of the surrounding #Whitewebbs Park to install training pitches, destroying dozens of other old trees & a rewilding & regenerating landscape in the process

Mayor Approves Devastating #Whitewebbs Development

"Prior to submission of planning application, applicant requested an EIA screening opinion from the Council, who concluded this would not be EIA development."

How can there be no Environmental Impact Assessment?

Now prosecute the people who paid to have the #Whitewebbs oak cut down.

The police know who the contractors are. Now expose the company (-ies) who commissioned them.

Toby Carvery oak tree felling: Anger and upset at scene of Enfield saga Some locals are demanding answers over the Toby Carvery owner's decision to fell a 500-year-old oak tree in north London.

#Whitewebbs was a 5 min walk from my childhood home. I cannot fathom how Enfield Council can have identified the Oak as a '"fine specimen" with high ecological and landscape value' 13 months ago & not imposed an immediate TPO. Retrospective action is too late!

I grew up in this Borough. It’s about time we had laws demanding permission for ANY kind of tree work on mature trees (not just ancient ones).

I don't understand why the #Whitewebbs Oak didn't already have a Tree Preservation Order before it was chopped down.

So much natural habitat is due to be destroyed by a Spurs' land grab: yet more private pitches in the Green Belt.

Wildlife expert slams council ‘failure’ to protect Whitewebbs Plans by Tottenham Hotspur to build a women's football academy at Whitewebbs Park are due to be decided by Enfield Council's planning committee in the next few weeks

Enfield Council is ignoring Whitewebbs Park’s importance for nature conservation prior to agreeing a lease with Tottenham Hotspur that would see a large chunk of it fenced off and built on.
