Tessier Gardens and the Trees

Tessier Garden is a small, quiet park in the Babbacombe area of the town. I have to admit I had never heard of this park until one of my readers, thanks Ex DG, mentioned it. He mentioned it in connection with the cutting down of some trees at the Goodrington Water Park As you can see the council have had to cut some trees down in Tessier Gardens. They to were becoming dangerous and had to go. It is always sad to see trees cut down but all things have a sell by date whether they are the humble mayfly (one day) or the entire universe (100 trillion years) The council have the responsibility to ensure that people wandering about the town don't get hit on the head by lumps of wood. Click here and imagine what would have happened if you had been getting in that taxi at the time.

Part of the problem seems to be that there has been a lot of trees that have gone to the great wood pile in the sky, or chipped up and spread on flower beds or turned into toilet rolls recently. The Big Tree in Paignton, Rock Walk, by the taxi rank in Cary Parade, round the Harbourside, Goodrington and now Tessier Gardens.
The gardens are still a pleasent place to have a walk round and a quiet sit down and I am sure the council will replant with imagination
