Tree maintenance work planned
17 March 2023
Tree maintenance work on Whiteknights and London Road campuses will take place over the next few weeks to keep our trees healthy and our grounds safe and attractive.
Road and footpath closures will be in place in some areas of campus during a two-week period, starting on Monday 27 March.
The work by our grounds maintenance colleagues includes pruning, removal of dead wood and inspections on trees and shrubs in a number of locations across the campuses.
