Tree on right hand side of Banbury Lane - too big

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8010746.
There is a very large tree on the right hand side of the verge of Banbury Lane, near the green triangle, that has been left to grow out of control and is now far too large given its proximity to local houses - namely those located in Farebrother Close. It is also grown on a slope meaning that it will be weaker at the base. I ask that it is looked at and assessed and hopefully crowned of at least cut back to limit any damage it would do if it came down.
