  • We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because it is currently bird nesting season but we are seeking specialist arboricultural advice and will arrange for any advised works once their assessment has been completed. If the fault deteriorates significantly please report this again to us. Thank you for reporting this matter.

  • This is a follow-up on our previous correspondence. I was told the trees could not be cut Bach due to nesting. Could this be looked at again, please the tree has now completely covered the public footpath and people are avoiding walking on the footpath and are either walking on residents private garden( with pushchairs or mobility scooters) or using the road. Please can you get these trees cut back for public saftey
