  Council will not prune or remove trees in relation to the following: • Branches overhanging property boundaries or buildings • Lack of light • Where a tree is thought be too tall, large, or old • Interference with solar panels or satellite, TV, or other media reception • Branches and/or limbs in physical contact with telephone wires or power wires • Leaf fall • Fruit fall • Shedding of small twigs. Nor will we remove leaf and branch debris at the base of a tree which serves to protect roots and protects the tree from lawn mowers, strimmers and dogs • Problems associated with pollen • Excreta caused by insects or birds • Obstruction of the view from house windows, gardens, balconies etc

  The situation will be reviewed cyclically as part of our programme of tree condition surveys and safety inspections.

• This tree is touching the building and this needs to be resolved.

  The council need to act as this could damage the building and become a health and safety issue.

  When was this last checked? Do we need to involve our local MP to get the council to resolve this?

• Not sure how this can be as the tree is right at a bus stop, and so no parked cars.

  Have you got the right tree?

• Again, how can this be then the area involved is next to a double bus stop. Are you suggesting that cars are parked in the bus stop?

  Have you issued fines to these cars?
