Kormak welcomed Toby Carviri’s apology, but he said he did not go far. He said: “Toby Carvery must now be completely transparent with their papers and work with the local authorities during the investigation.

Did they look at any alternatives to the division, and if not, why not?”

“I refute the claim that the tree was dying and dangerous. I looked at the structural integrity of the tree and saw it in December.
The police closed their investigation on Tuesday after they decided to be a civil issue.
MBR retreat to comment.
A Tottenham spokesman said: “The tree and its decision have no connection with the club, as the tree sits outside the demise of our lease for the proposed women’s and girls training center,” said Tottenham spokesman.
The club confirmed that it had an option to rent the Toby Carvery land inside the Wittibs park, but he stressed that this is just an option. It also claimed that it was “ridiculous” to suggest that the tree had fallen to make the land easier to develop it.
