There may be nothing “so lovely as a tree” but they are costing Reading Borough Council a small fortune in compensation payouts.
And it is not just trees causing damage - someone was paid £1,000 last year for walking into a post on council land.
Getreading asked the council for details of the ten largest payments for damages from compensation claims over the past two years.
Last year Reading council paid out damages for two compensation claims of £39,000 and £26,000 for “subsidence” caused by trees.
