Circa 1970, MQ,s in Cefn Glas Bridgend, for St Athen. I had a dead tree in the rear garden. Because the quarters were rented, I ha d to get the tree certified DEAD! This took myself to show them the tree ( only 8 feet high ) the Families officer to check it was dead, Works and Bricks man to confirm it was dead and a man with a spade to dig it up !!!! Happy days .
