The tree has spread it's roots and become too big.

Reported via mobile in the Trees and woodland category anonymously at 13:30, Wed 3 January 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 21 hours, 16 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 5387126.

The pavement and my hardstand has been raised and damaged as a result of roots growing from a tree of which type that should never of been planted, it is way to large for a roadside tree, also the canopy is constantly being hit by double decker buses which results in debris in the road. In summer growth around the trunk encroaches on the road and pavement. I believe the tree should be cut down.
