A huge tree within St Paul’s churchyard in Wokingham is being felled over the next few days after being reported as diseased and rotten.

Pictures of the scene show a huge crane and workmen on Reading Road as the tree is cut piece by piece.

Wokingham Borough Council have announced that Reading Road will be closed between Station Approach and Holt Lane today (28/10) and tomorrow (29/10) between 7am and 6pm each day for the work to take place.

This is to allow the work to take place safely.

There will be no access for vehicles and pedestrians will only be able to use the pavement on the Holt Lane side of the road.
