Why a London council is warning: 'Don't sit under trees'

Available for over a year

People have been warned not to sit underneath or near trees after a number of large branches fell suddenly in some north-west London parks. Safety notices were issued by Harrow Council after branches fell in Stanmore, Hatch End and Pinner. No one was reported to have been injured. The council said it was due to Sudden Branch Drop Syndrome, which has no known cause, but heatwaves and changes in tree moisture levels could be a factor. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ London's Tom Edwards has the story.
