Very large oak tree. Has not been pruned for a very long time. Overhangs the road, patheay, our drive and our front garden. Branches often blowing off in high winds and hitting/landing on our cars.
The tree needs pruning. Chopping back.
Pathway where the tree root has grown at the base of the trunk is raising.

Is there any update on this please, last update from you was 5/9/24 ……… during height winds on more than one occasion very large branches have fallen off this tree, some into the road and one almost hitting our car. It is a danger.

10/3/2025. Large branches are dropping off the tree onto the footpath/drive. As you see this is very dangerous. Do you have any updates please? the tree needs looking at urgently. I first reported this in August 2024 and have had no updates since September 2024.
