Very large sycamore branch has snapped off canopy and landed on path side of fence as per warnings from private contractor. Would have caused significant injury to anyone walking underneath.

Large piece of bark fell down today. Would have caused serious injury to anyone standing underneath. Little or nothing has been done since this complaint was opened. This is outright dangerous negligence.

Please accept our apologies for the delayed response. The Ash tree's sadly have ash die back but are not at level for intervention and will be monitored annually for changing in their condition. Works have been raised to remove dead/damaged for the Sycamore's and Ash trees that overhang the boundary which has been issued to the contractor for completion.
