A London council seals off the tree with barriers and security guards ahead of a court hearing.
By Yasmin RufoA London council and a local activist group are in a legal row over a plan to fell a 120-year-old tree.
In a letter to residents, it says the action comes after climbing ropes were installed, but the activists deny this. Haringey Tree Protectors told the BBC: "The local community was awoken at 4.30 on Sunday morning to the council building a protective wall around the tree with fences, scaffolding and a viewing tower."We are completely shocked by the aggressive and militaristic tactics by the council.
"This is an example of insurers seeking to avoid liability for the costs of underpinning and other work to mitigate increasing incidents of climate-provoked subsidence," the activist group said.
