Council were very responsive, sign was moved straight away. However I was left feeling it was my responsibility to find out who's responsibility the overhanging trees were. Once the council established it was not theirs I was asked if I wanted to contact Highways (I declined and said I'd rather the council did that) Following the council's contact with Highways I was told they must belong to the business estate and I was left to sort that out for myself. Surely if trees are causing a public problem it's the council's job to find a solution? Ultimately I am not interested in who/which department needs to be involved - I just want to FixMyStreet! :/
