How the Toby Carvery ancient tree saga unfolded

Available for over a year

Toby Carvery's owner has apologised over the upset caused after the company felled an ancient oak tree and admitted "we need to tighten our protocols" in a letter seen by the 麻豆社. The company cut down the 500-year-old oak despite a March 2024 planning document that called it a "fine specimen", and the council stating it had centuries to live. On Wednesday, Enfield Council's leader branded the felling "an outrage" and said all legal options were being considered. The 麻豆社's Harry Low has the latest.
