Post HORSE CHESTNUT TREE IN CHRIST CHURCH GROUNDS.

There is a beautiful, very large, horse chestnut tree in the grounds of Christ Church. Apparently because there has been recent mention in the local paper about diseases in this type of tree, the church people have contacted Hyndburn Council to have it checked out. They say it does NOT have the disease but is unsafe.  They are talking of cutting the tree down.   This is awful!  How can I find out about getting some expert advice on this - we have to fight this!  It has been there for over a hundred years and is part of the conservation area.  How do you go about getting a preservation order on a tree?   (of course we do realise that if the tree really is unsafe, then there is no option but to fell it)
