Mitchells & Butlers, the parent company of UK restaurant chain Toby Carvery, is facing legal action after contractors felled a 500-year-old oak tree in Whitewebbs Park, Enfield, on April 3, 2025. The tree stood on leased land near the restaurant’s car park. The company claimed it was dead and posed a safety risk, but Enfield Council stated the tree was healthy and violated lease terms. Environmentalists and locals condemned the act, calling it an irreversible loss of natural heritage. The council is now exploring legal measures to hold the company accountable. (PC: CNN)
