Opposite No 158 southbound on the Midford Road (B3110) there are a bunch of trees (ash and sycamore) which are overhanging the road and keep getting hit by lorries as shown in photo on left. Today it was some small branches that fell but last week it was a 12 foot long branch which fell on the pavement. This is dangerous for pedestrians and would appreciate it if this could be inspected and hopefully addressed please.
