New enough (created 5 March), long enough (2,938B), neutral, no close paraphrasing detected. I prefer the original hook (interesting and sourced), but the cited source only mentions London, not Europe. Perhaps "… that the horse chestnut scale insect invaded London in the 1960s"?--Godot13 (talk) 04:53, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I have added an extra citation for the other European towns. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:12, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Hook is good now.--Godot13 (talk) 17:27, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
