Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7757342.
Concerned about the trees behind the property, 5 The Butts, Aynho, OX17 3AN, there are approx. 5 trees and some have split branches which are dead. Is concerned also about the largest of the trees which overhangs his garden and also the footpath, thinks this tree is dead and was showing a lot of movement in the recent winds and creaking. If it falls then will go directly into his garden and also on the footpath which is used frequently.
Asked if you could contact him as feels you would benefit from inspecting from within his garden as give a better perspective as covered by hedges at the front.
