Residents living near Kings Langley railway station have been notified of tree removal works happening by the tracks over the coming months.

Network Rail will be removing trees and vegetation along parts of the railway line parallel to The Retreat and Station Road until June this year, which will affect railway operations in Kings Langley.

Sarah McArdle, community relations manager, said: "In 2013 vegetation management and incidents caused by vegetation cost the railway £100m. Storm, rain and wind events resulted in approximately 1,500 incidents in 2013 and 2014 where trees caused disruption to the network.

"We will be removing any potentially hazardous line side trees and plants, prioritising areas that pose a significant safety or performance risk. These areas will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

"However, all sites will see a clear six-metre wide corridor created on one side of the track along with the removal of any trees tall enough to fall into the path of a train or railway equipment."
