Overgrown/overhanging trees
Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 13:37, Thu 14 August 2025
Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8025425.
The trees along the bridleway are now so big and overhang the grass area and driveways at the end of Foster Close. Some branches already fallen off on recent windy days. Worried about autumnal/winter weather to come, and potential damage to properties and cars

Awaiting your update - Please advise when any action will be taken regarding these trees. The strong wind today is causing some of these trees to bend and sway right above our driveways.....quite worrying

Still waiting to hear when this issue will be attended to. With windy weather coming these trees could become hazardous. Residents cut back what they can reach but they re so tall it's impossible to reach safely.

Still not fixed Nov 6th. Falling leaves now blocking gutters of nearby houses, and making shared driveways slippery. Branches fall off in strong winds. Hazardous for people properties and cars.

Please advise when action will be taken on this issue, You've been " investigating" since August. The lack of updates and communication is insulting and disappointing

After 6 months with no response, I've pretty much given up that anything will ever be done about this issue. On 18th August you were "investigating' and would respond "within 5 days " - I'm still waiting!
