Tree blocking light from lamp post

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 14:52, Sat 24 August 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6393675.

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.
