Crab Apple Tree requires inspection

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 14:05, Mon 1 September 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8103150.

Hello, we had a tree survey conducted at the school in January 25 and they have advised that we contact you to get someone to come and inspect the crab apple tree on the path outside the school to check that the tree is still sound and safe. I had a look at it over the summer and it appears to be partially dead. This is a busy path due to access to the school. Please can you send someone to look and confirm whether or not they are happy with the condition of the tree? Many thanks, Georgina - School Business Manager
