The large street cherry tree outside 66 Haywood Road is leaning towards the property. The branches are over hanging the boundary of the property and almost touching the house. The cherries that are falling from the tree are leaving red stains on the paint work of the property. The tree needs to be pruned back to the boundary of the property and the overall height reduced.
