Newcastle City council has been fined \u00a3280,000 after a six-year-old girl was killed by a tree in her school playground.
Health and Safety Executive prosecutor James Towey said a "large section" of the tree next collapsed in strong winds.
The weight of the tree meant school staff were unable to remove Ella from underneath the tree, he added. Newcastle City council also admitted it had failed to properly emphasise that the school should carry out further inspections of the tree.He said: “The bottom line is that that tree should have been felled. It should not have been standing on that dreadful day.”
Following her death, Ella’s family released a statement saying: “We feel incredibly blessed to have had her in our lives. We had the perfect family and she will live on in our hearts.” Her family previously raised some £30,000 for the Great North Air Ambulance Service after it responded to the incident.
