I live at Stockwell House, Stoneway Badby. Your records will show that WNC own the high wall along the footpath adjoining my property. It is definitely WNC's wall - not mine (in fact WNC spent 2 weeks repairing it in May 2023). Young elder trees are now undermining the wall on the footpath side. This is WNC's responsibility, not mine. If left, the elder trees will eventually cause structural damage to the wall. Better to get rid of them now.
