Overgrown Trees

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 18:36, Fri 29 August 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council 2 days, 15 hours, 43 minutes later. ref: 8092865.

Please can someone take seriously the issue of the VERY overgrown trees along Kimbolton Rd. The paths are covered with leaves and are an accident waiting to happen with someone slipping, the trees are overhanging into my garden and blocking out day light ? They restrict the limited lighting we have in Kimbolton rd, the effect of the sap on our windows is an issue. You might think these issues are petty but you try living here.. we used to love the view of castle fields but can hardly see it now and dont even get me started on the pigeons that sit in the trees and foal everywhere.. have you noticed how people leave the bins virtually on the paths come bin day as they get filthy and unhygienic each Wednesday..my husband had made complaints previously as has our neighbours but as always to no avail .. this is now beyond a joke as they where maintained regularly a few years ago .. I love the trees just want them to be properly maintained .
