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.

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.
