  • The tree is no longer over hanging but is in multiple pieces on the grass verge. It is very unsightly and probably will damage the grass underneath. It really needs removing asap.

    As you can see, the tree is in multiple bits. It is heavily covered in Ivy which is weighing it down. The grass beneath the broken pieces will inevitably suffer. Part of the tree is ominously close to the street light. This has been like this since September, who is the landowner? Do I need to take this to the next parish council meeting? I’m very disappointed in the tardiness over this matter.
