• This is bucks county council responsibility. It is very dangerous having to walk in the road. I feel for people with buggies and children This is very close to a busy roundabout junction.

• I have heard from Slough Borough Council. They are going to send a notice to the resident requesting that the trees be cut back.

• It's dangerous to have to walk in the road. It's impossible to walk on the pavement. Cyclists on the road are also affected by the overhanging branches which are as far as the road.

• This is now getting ridiculous. How long does it take to get road safety issue resolved. I suppose that this is classified as non essential now that Slough Council are skint. Crazy.

• I have asked Slough Council for an update. They sent a letter to the landowner on 29 June asking that the trees be cut back. The Council give the landowner 14 days to comply before sending another letter. If nothing has been done within 14 days of the second letter being sent, the Council will escalate to the next stage, whatever that is. By my reckoning, that gives the landowner until the 26 July to do something.

  This continues to be a safety hazard. Property owner obviously doesn't give a toss!

• Slough Council. Why has no action been taken to remove the overhanging branches and make the path safe for pedestrians? The fact that you have written to the offending home owner has not resulted in cation by them so surely now is the time for the council to cut back the trees and other vegetation and charge the owner. What are you waiting for? This is a busy road right by a roundabout. If someone gets hurt then the owner and the council are responsible due to neglect. What is the point of Fix my Street bringing this to your attention for months and months if Slough Council do nothing. Please note that on a very regular basis for many years Slough Council trim back trees and bushes and cut grass areas of the opposite side of the road.
