Fixed
Overgrown tree
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9296348.
This tree is desperately in need of cutting back properly, every year in the summer I have to get my car cleaned every week from the sap, and every winter it blocked my drains from the leaves, leaving puddles on my driveway, it’s so high it’s now dangerous, I’ve had branches that have fallen on to my vehicles, luckily it was not a mum with a pushchair, please come and cut this tree so it looks like the one up the road, cut right back, Thank you

Thank you for your enquiry. please note that as outlined in our Tree Management Strategy (tree-management-strategy-2023-to-2027 (bromley.gov.uk) the Council will not prune trees in relation to the following: • Tree size, where a tree is judged to be overly large. • Excessive leaf or fruit fall. Seasonal leaf and/or fruit fall should be expected and is not a reason to require pruning or removal of trees. The Council will not clear leaves or fruit from private properties but does manage leaf/fruit fall on Council owned footways and highways However it is noted historically the tree has been reduced which has lapsed and requires regrowth removal. A job has been issued to the contractor, estimated to be completed within 28 days to remove regrowth to last pruning points.
