Tree blocking light from lamp post

There has been break ins of at least 3 vehicles in the last couple of months in this car park, 2 of which were almost directly under this tree. The lack of light due to the coverage is a major issue and needs to be addressed urgently. It has become gradually worse over the last couple of years but now the lamppost has almost disappeared beneath the foliage. It cannot be left until the leaves fall as the problem will only be worse next spring.

Is there an update on this problem? The evening are drawing in and I worry for the security of myself and my neighbours as the road is very dark.
