By the end of 1972 Dutch elm disease had killed so many elms in Southern Britain that sanitation felling on a national scale was not a feasible proposition and the main campaign against the disease was ended. Since then interest in the worst affected areas has been concentrated on measures aimed at saving trees of high amenity value. Where the disease is still at a low level, the main control method remains the destruction of sources of infection and to this end, restrictions have recently been placed on the movement of diseased elm in parts of the country. In addition, certain local authorities have powers to prevent the spread of infection.
