Multiple recent issues
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6009169.
Within the tree areas outside 232 to 246 court road there have been a number of broken branches and fallen trees in recent months. These have been left unattended and dangerous. It’s quite concerning. Also very little maintenance has taken place of these trees meaning they overhang people’s property and we are in fear that this will eventually cause damage to our houses.

Just seen the tree guys and been informed that I should put in a new report due to the amount of branches that overhang and have broken. They said that I can cut upto my boundaries but I don’t feel like I should be paying for that when it’s a public tree. Please just action the works to be done and it be done with. This wastes mine and your time
