I am writing to formally raise concerns regarding a dangerous tree that is overhanging a public footpath and my property at the end of Faringdon Avenue. The tree in question has large sections that have recently fallen, and its current leaning angle raises serious concerns about its stability. If it were to continue to lean or collapse, it could cause significant damage to my home and pose a serious risk to pedestrians using the public footpath below.

Given the immediate safety risks, I am requesting urgent action to assess and mitigate the hazard.
