LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Georgian streets and two rivers
Cockermouth’s town centre is a conservation area, which means most tree work in the older streets requires six weeks’ notice to the council before it begins. We file that notice as part of any job, and it is worth knowing before you book anyone. The town also carries a good number of TPOs, particularly on the mature trees around the Memorial Gardens and the riverside walks.
The Cocker and Derwent shape the other half of the work. Riverside willow, alder and sycamore grow quickly, lean hard and shed limbs, and after the town’s history of flooding many owners sensibly keep riverside trees maintained rather than allowing them to accumulate sail and debris. From Kirkgate to the newer edges of town, and out to Brigham, Papcastle and the Lorton road, it is all covered.
Also covering: Brigham, Papcastle, Bridekirk, Greysouthen, Eaglesfield, Low Lorton.
Common questions in Cockermouth
How do I know if my tree needs conservation-area notice?
If your property is in the town-centre conservation area and the trunk is thicker than about 7.5cm, almost certainly. We check the designation and file the six-week notice for you as part of the job.
Can you work on trees overhanging the river?
Yes, riverside work is a regular part of Cockermouth jobs. Limbs are rigged away from the water and everything is cleared, so nothing ends up downstream.
