  • Thank you for your report.

    This has been raised with the relevant team. Looking at our records there are 2 trees flagged, one ash and one willow on the A2 near Merton Lane, Canterbury within National Highways land. Both are deemed low risk currently. The whole woodland alongside Merton Lane has been flagged for overhanging branches and trees and these works will be scheduled for the next financial year. Currently there are no Ash Die Back (ADB) plots identified.

    At present, there are no works planned for this current year, based on the 2023-24 surveys. The A2 will be surveyed again as part of our rolling 3-year cyclical tree surveys during 2026-27.

    Kind Regards

    National Highways
