  • The land in question does not belong to Allerdale Borough Council and so we cannot take any action unless the trees are in imminent danger of falling down. We have been out to investigate the situation and have spoken to the complainant who agrees there is no imminent danger of them falling. However, we have contacted BT and asked them to deal with the problem of the trees growing through the phone lines as soon as possible.
