The trees in the woods behind our garden overhang. Some of them are dead and creak dramatically in the wind, it seems inevitable that they will fall

  • Hi, you're in roughly the right spot, and some of the trees behind that garden are probably a risk too. we're next door to them, the other garden that extends from 21. I was trying to move the pin but essentially if you're standing facing the pin from the houses as is the garden to the left. Let me know if you need more detail or pictures.

  • Please accept our apologies for the delays, the works have been taken off our incumbent contractor and issued to a third party contractor for completion. We envisage that the contractor will take 6-8 weeks to complete them.

    Follow up to my message earlier this week... one of the trees has now fallen into our garden. It's been 7 months since I first mentioned this issue. To my knowledge, nothing was actually done despite claims that it had been resolved.

    Could you clarify if anything will be done to prevent more falling in future? And also what we should be doing with the one that is now half-fallen but in our garden?

  • A tree has fallen down and is leaning against my fence, per the picture posted on 8th December. I have no idea what work was supposed to have happened on the 4th, but regardless of what the system says, I would appreciate the speedy removal of the tree and action to prevent this happening again with other trees in the proximity. The update about dangerous leaning was written by a council employee.

  • It's 21a rather than 22.

    The fallen one has been taken away. It was suggested a second was gonna be taken away too but no evidence of that yet
