The image shows where a tree on public land (regularly maintained by contractors on behalf of the council) has grown through and damaged the rear fence of our garden. This has evidently been an issue for some time given the maturity of the tree.

  • We have asked our contractors to cut back the branches and stems from the public side of the fence within the next 4-6 weeks. Thank you for your patience.

  • We have issued the work order to the Council’s contractor and remains outstanding within their planned schedule of works. Clearly they are delayed for any number of reasons and we apologize on their behalf. We will continue to liaise with our contractor until the works are completed.
