Area not being covered by light by obstruction of trees

Reported via mobile in the Street light category anonymously at 17:56, Wed 30 April 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7505736.

As you can see from the picture, the light is being obstructed by tree foliage which is making the houses in the area be in darkness, this is putting the houses at risk as its extremely dark in the area plus when elderly people visit, they can and have missed their footing going to the properties and have fallen, thankfully so far so serious injury. The tree foliage is getting quite long and is in a serious need of cutting back. This would mean that the lstreet light would be able to do its job.
