Branches from public tree fouling power and phone line.

Reported via desktop in the Tree Requires Pruning category anonymously at 09:41, Thursday 16 January 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6988001.

As the photos show, some branches from the tree on the pavement outside no.10 Osgood Avenue are fouling the power cable to no. 10 and the phone lines to no. 12. This is particularly evident when the tree is in leaf and the wind is blowing, and will eventually sever the lines. The issue has been growing over the past three years.
