Outside 15 Willow Lane there are very overgrown conifers considerably taller than regulations permit and these conifers are restricting the street lamp in this area making it dangerous to walk past at night.

  • The conifers have not been cut back as required and the householder has been ignoring this for years….the conifers are still obstructing the street light and protruding onto the footpath so please ensure these are cut back as required by law to prevent accidents in the future and possible claims against the council for failing to ensure safety

  • The overgrown conifers at15 Willow Lane, Stanion are still restricting the lighting at night and now impeding the pedestrian footpath adjacent to this property….is this issue ever going to be resolved as it is becoming more dangerous

  • It’s been over 9 months since this was first reported but nothing has been done about it and as we are heading into Autumn and dark nights it would be appreciated if this issue could be resolved
