The situation will be reviewed cyclically as part of our programme of tree condition surveys and safety inspections.

  Please note as per the 1984 Telecommunications Act, all service providers are responsible for maintaining their own overhead line infrastructure. In the case of phone cables, please contact OpenReach as they are responsible for the repair and upkeep of these lines including pruning back of street trees.
