A surviving tree in a new housing estate

New housing is appearing at many locations in Worcester and work is now in progress on the far side of the A4440 bypass. I had thought this marked some sort of boundary - obviously not! These particular houses are very close to the A4440 on the city side. This was a Sunday walk to judge progress since an earlier visit and I found the estate largely finished. However, even a year later (January 2019) the roads still have to receive a final surface and possess raised metalwork. It strikes me that the developers rush to build the houses but drag their heels on niceties - like proper level roads.
