Works continues to remove trees affected by ash dieback disease
Work is continuing throughout Carmarthenshire to remove council owned diseased ash trees affecting the highway.
Specialist contractors have recently been carrying out felling works throughout the night on the A4138 Hendy link road to remove dead and dying trees that pose a risk to road users and pedestrians.
Ash dieback is a fungal disease, it spreads from the leaves through to the branches, causing the tree to die. Dead branches and entire dead trees can become very brittle and fall, posing a serious risk to the public.
