Toby Carvery faces backlash and potential legal repercussions after the felling of a 500-year-old oak tree in a north London park. Enfield council claims the tree was alive, contrasting with the restaurant chain's assertions that it was dead and posed safety risks. Council leader Ergin Erbil asserted the tree was healthy when cut and emphasized their intent to take legal action for breach of lease conditions. While the police deemed the matter civil, the council continues to explore legal options to address this incident.
The council leader, Ergin Erbil, said this was false. We have evidence that this tree was alive and starting to grow new spring leaves when this action was taken.
Erbil said: The police are treating it as a civil matter, but we will continue to take appropriate legal action. He added: As the landowner, we believe this action has broken the terms of the lease.
