It's not an unusual problem: a groups search in uk.rec.gardening should
find you plenty of advice (it's more active than this group)
Or you could visit your local garden centre and read the labels on the
weedkilling products: you want a gel that you can apply to just the tree
suckers, by painting or sponging it on, so as not to get it on the
grass. The active ingredient would probably be glyphosate.
If neither of those helps, post on uk.rec.gardening saying how long ago
the main tree was cut down, maybe with a description of the suckers.
