Good morning, please can you do something about the trees on Griffith Street. We did report this last year but they have since grown more and are blocking light and close to scratching windows up and down the street. Last year and in 2023 the sap was very bad and caused damage to cars and the pavements; with all the wind we are also concerned that branches will come down and damage property. I have lived here four years now and the upper tree branches have not been trimmed back in all of that time. The lack of light is also a problem as this side of the street does not get the sun so with the trees blocking even more light it isn’t great. Thanks.
