Huge problem with this tree

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6397994.

Immediately outside my house. I reported 13 months ago that it was the second time that a branch had fallen from the tree which by pure luck (again) had not damaged any vehicle or person. I identified that the tree was rotten and dangerous. Have you no arborialists to adise you? Once again I request that you remove it. This time you must act because the branches involved are the largest so far. Ps over the course of many years branches have fallen and my wall is damaged and the pavement has been compromised. Please research my previous comments and provide me with copies of my comments - your website does not permit me to retain them. My final comment is - cut it down. Thank you.
