I agree it is a shame to see beautiful trees disappear.
The tree in question has been there almost as long as the Church, and is apparently subject to a preservation order, so I doubt the council are making this decision lightly.

Safety has to be the paramount issue here, especially as it is a conker tree and a magnet to children.

Plus as Owd Bert says:
"remember that we are now in an era of litigation"
