Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 3 weeks, 5 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 9375744.
These ash tress were first reported under reference 7498071. The problem is situated on Penfold Lane, opposite Lady Winefreds Walk and adjacent to Penfold Gardens. The attached photos show that, despite all the surrounding trees being in full leaf, the Ash trees have almost no leaves and what they have are badly shrivelled. Several Ash trees n the adjacent pocket park and playing field where cut down due to Ash dieback. Ash dieback is a very contagious tree disease and, infected trees must be removed to prevent further contamination. Theses trees need to be urgently surveyed to ascertain the risk.
