  • Nothing has still been done about the overgrown trees that I reported. Its restricting access to my house via footpath aswell as restricting my view coming out the drive onto the main road. On a couple of occasions I have almost pulled out into oncoming traffic as they are blocking my view from both directions. This also includes the public footpath as you cannot see pedestrians/mobility scooters either. Ref 4206230

  • I received an email to say this has now been sorted. However, when I got home, nothing has been done at all. The trees have not been touched so whoever were sent out to deal with the situation obviously went to the wrong place. The trees I reported are out the front of 2 and 3 cadefield on Huttoft Road. Sutton on sea. ...next to the public footpath. You cant miss them as branches laid on the ground and whatever growing on them is everywhere which is also slippery to try and walk over. Could you please keep me updated as to when this will actually be done. Thankyou

    I cannot post all the pics at once but if you park on my driveway then you will see how bad it is. Can't see oncoming traffic in either direction. Tree has overgrown the access path and drive to my house and is over hanging the public footpath. The tree the other side of the drive is also hanging over.
