A drone is being deployed to spot signs of elm disease across Brighton and Hove, home of Britain’s biggest collection of the threatened species.

The new technology has given the arboriculture team at Brighton and Hove City Council another way to look out for the early signs of disease.

Over the past 60 years or so, elm disease – also known as Dutch elm disease – has led to the destruction of thousands of the trees across the country.
