I wish draw you attention a very serious concern of mine concerning a mature oak tree which is overhanging our Allotments. It is sited on the railway embank, adjacent to our boundary. The tree concerned is approximately on the 3 words reference ///handle. Usual.Shrimp..

Reported via desktop in the Private Tree overhanging highway category anonymously at 15:32, Sunday 17 September 2023 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5002701.

During recent work earlier this year, by Railtrack, to clear vegetation from along side the trackside. This tree was trimmed of some large boughs. However, this has left more growth overhanging the Allotments. The plot holder has express concern that boughs could fall onto them, as well inhibiting the growth on their plot. Given their concerns about their safety I would be grateful if you could examine the tree with a view to trimming the boughs over hanging our allotment.
