Tree is damaged problem
Reported in the Tree is damaged category by Gloucestershire County Council at 09:32, Fri 5 September 2025
FixMyStreet ref: 8151123.
In the recent past the National Trust created space & access to their land to do some tree felling. When sealing the access [NAME], the ranger created a bund & left enough space for the informal creation of an informal passing place. In doing so it has encouraged vehicles to come closer to our boundary wall when passing and I believe one reflective post has been removed somehow. Our wall is circa 7 foot high and must be part of a structural wall that retains the road. From road surface to top of wall is circa 2 foot but there is a significant drop to our 'back yard'. At the bottom of the wall on our side, a bulge seems to be emerging that concerns me. at the base of the wall there is an overhang of circa 6 inches and the bulge is roughy 3 foot by 3 foot. The wall seems less uniform / even overall. The photos attached show a vertical 3 x 2 timber and the bulge & overhang.
