Oh the irony A councillor for the Green Party has died after falling out of a tree, it has been disclosed.
Phil Gordon, a professional tree surgeon, was working in Abbey Park, Leicester, on Tuesday when the accident happened. He was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary where he died.
"Councillor Gordon was one of our first Green councillors, and along with his then co-councillor Matt Follett brought a fresh approach into the council chamber, championing the cause of recycling both in the city and in the council.
"He was an arborist, and had been working alongside our trees and woodlands team for just over a year. He will be greatly missed by them." http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23833315-councillor-killed-in-fall-from-tree.do |

Cue 3 pages of tree puns.
I'll start then.
He was a lovely feller and was very poplar.
