Closure of Shutts Lane
Wiltshire Council will be undertaking the removal of 13 trees infected with Ash Dieback in Shutts Lane, the week commencing the 19th of December 2022, the work will take approximately 4 days to complete. The trees are located on land that forms part of the right of way and are therefore the responsibility of Wiltshire Council. Shutts Lane will be closed to all users between 0800-1700 while the work is undertaken
The works are being undertaken for the purposes of safety and good management as the majority of the ash trees on this bank are infected with the disease Ash Dieback (ADB) in addition to this a number of the mature ash trees at this location have poor structural conditions, in particular weak stem unions which are predisposed to failure, as well as the presence of other wood decay fungi.
As you may or may not be aware, Ash Dieback is a significant tree disease that can lead to the death of the host tree in a short period of time, leaving infected trees in a structurally compromised state, where sections or whole trees can fail unpredictably.
