An ancient oak that was felled by the owners of Toby Carvery could have lived for “another few hundred years”, the outraged head of the local council claims as he vows legal action.
Reports were made to Enfield Council in London earlier this month after a roughly 400-year-old oak tree on the edge of Whitewebbs Park, in the north of the capital, was felled. The tree was thought to be in the top 100 of London’s 600,000 oak trees in terms of its size, and was believed to have “more ecological value than the Sycamore Gap”.
