Report
At 4:56pm 15/06/2021 in Meriden a Midland Forestry van with the registration EJ08 PXY pulled out in front of the vehicle I was in causing us to brake harshly. Have a word with your drivers.

Report
This is the second time that I have used them. They are very good at what they do. They were at my house for 6 hours taking down trees and apart from the fact that the trees had gone you wouldn't know that they had been there because they are so tidy.
