Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7266173.

There are diseased branches of a sycamore tree in Royal Victoria Park which are overhanging plot 85 of the allotments and may fall at any time. There is one branch that has snapped off, around 8ft long, 6-8in diameter which is resting in the canopy and could easily fall in the next high winds. Please can this issue be attended urgently. The tree may be hard to see from the park side as it is shielded by other trees. Happy to be contacted if help is needed to locate it.

  • Resident called to say that a huge branch collapsed last weekend and as the tree is near the allotment could have become a tragedy. There are even bigger branches that are about to come off and a tree surgeon confirmed that the entire tree is not safe due to the disease
