I am writing to urgently report a severely overgrown tree that requires immediate pruning. Branches regularly fall from the tree onto the property and in areas close to where children live and play, creating an ongoing safety risk. If left unaddressed, there is a serious risk of injury or damage, particularly during high winds or adverse weather. I request that the council arrange an urgent inspection and carry out the necessary pruning as a matter of priority to prevent potential harm.
