Overhanging Dangerous large trees need pruning

Reported via mobile in the Tree Requires Pruning category by Rebecca Long at 09:29, Tue 10 December 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6842677.

A very large tree on Hammelton Road has now grown so that large branches are over hanging to the other side of the road, placing cars and houses at risk. Large trees have been blown over in Bromley with recent weather, and this tree is posing a large risk to property and surrounding areas. Please can this be pruned back to a sensible size and height.
