A fire started in the base of the biggest oak tree in Attenborough fields has caused such extensive damage the tree "may well die".
The blaze, in the tree about 100 metres from the Haydon Road entrance to the fields, took firefighters hours to tackle yesterday afternoon.
Cllr Peter Taylor has urged anyone who has information about how the fire started to contact the police on non-emergency number 101.
