The management of Ham Common Woods is something of an issue due to costs which tends to means that little bits of work are done infrequently and only rarely is anything significant done. One of the recent little jobs was the clearing of the edges around the large clearing just to the south of Ham Gate Avenue more or less opposite Ormeley Lodge.
This is the south-west corner of the clearing.
A few trees were cut down to open the area up to more light and to give space to the other trees. My default position is to object to the removal of any tree but this seems like a reasonable decision.

What I am less impressed with the the thinning out of the section between the clearing and Ham Gate Avenue which has made the road, and all its traffic, very visible from the clearing and reducing its value as a place of restful nature.
