Tree route damage
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8190217.
There is an obvious problem from tree route damage with this utility box looking in danger of falling over as a result. This is really steaming from trees being planted here London Plane which are poorly located tree next to a road and a pavement if this is not dealt with at some point the trees will be up to homes. I can see a decision was taken to remove one tree already think need to consider replacing them to deal with the cause but the symptom of this is now bow waved pavements that are about obvious trip hazard. Leaving this situation in place will only leas to further more extensive damage a bigger expense to deal with the trees and a possible threat to people's homes.
