Very high overhanging Ash trees affecting property and garden

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 14:11, Wed 19 November 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8439827.

Ash and fir trees around the front and side of the house, they are tall and over hanging, some are higher than the roof, this is causing issues with the gutters. They paid for someone to clear the gutters as the husband fell when trying himself. They called Higham Ferrers Council who directed them to us. They have also been decorating the house and have found issues caused by the root. The leaves fall on to their house and garages and grounds and cause issues and become dangerous in wet and icy weather.
