The tree at the end of 134 Murray Avenue drive is very overhanging. I reported this last year and it’s now worse. The size of the branches dropping are dangerous to the general public as well as ourselves. They’re also causing damage to mine and the neighbours vehicles. The tree is also blocking a lot of light into our property as well as shedding which is coming inside our house, even when the window is only slightly open.

    This tree was supposed to be cut back in May. It still hasn’t despite other trees on the road being done. It’s not only blocking light into our house and making a mess of our front garden and driveway. It’s now swallowing up our own tree. Please can you update when work will be carried out to cut this back please?

    The tree is completely covering the top of our tree now and blocking a lot of light to the house. Not to mention the constant falling large branches! This was first reported over a year ago. And again in April when I was told it would take 5 weeks before work was carried out. Please update on the work.
