Southend-on-Sea Municipal Assembly (SCC) is asked questions, the locals claim that it was even established under the benches and the tree was supported by the poles. Dean Bailey said on social media: “Instead of supporting, it must have been cut.” Meanwhile, Mimi Faria added: “This branch must have been cut instead of taking advantage of a pole to hold it. This should be very neglect and someone should take responsibility.”
Steve Ives 68 -year -old Steve Ives, who says he walks in the park every day BBC: “The metal has been supported by the metal stage since I could remember the tree. The branches were very large. He always looked healthy and people stood under him and chatted. It is a terrible thing to be.” Steven Nesh wrote: “Frankly, it was very big to support his own weight, and unfortunately he had to be exposed to the consequences of someone’s negligence.”
A member of the Old Brentwoods Cricket Club, who played against the Westcliff Cricket Club in Chalkwell Park during the incident, said Express yesterday that the tree looked “preserved” because it was some “metal poles”.
He was one of the people running to help lift the tree of two trapped children.
People in the region heard a “snap, explosion” and a woman “only network and scream.”
“I’m guessing that this is one of the mother’s mothers,” the man who wants to stay anonymous said. He added that seeing one of the children under the tree suggests that his own two young girls think.
