Hi I’ve contacted before and I’ve contacted chislehurst matters and the councillor of chislehurst and no one can help but this tree has damaged the decking of the garden and my children can’t use the garden the tree has made the decking weak which has now caused the decking to have holes in which is now unsafe. It’s constantly dropping branches in the garden it is so big and obviously just going to keep growing and damaging my garden until it’s cut back. I cannot cut this down myself it is so high and unsafe
