Reported via desktop in the Tree roots raising footpath category anonymously at 11:28, Monday 18 September 2023

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 471117.

Silver birch tree roots are now exposing themselves in our lawn at Number 17. 2 metres from our footings of our house. It is about 40 high which in our opinion is not suitable for this Avenue. 4 years it has been present.
