Dangerous branches overhanging property and pathway
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9443337.
The large tree at the kerbside between 145&147 Arle Road has multiple issues which are a risk to properly and persons if not addressed sooner rather than later. A couple of very large branches overhang 145 and 147 almost half way across the front parking area and if they fall damage would be caused to expensive vehicles. The branch affecting 147 has grown through the tree in the front garden and is damaging it and I would like it cut back from my boundary ASAP. Also there are low hanging branches on the path way at head height to a child and an accident is going to happen if not cut back well above head height to an adult. This is a route to and from school for many people and there is a danger of falling dead branches from the tree also. I have already moved one from the pathway onto the grass verge as it was blocking it. The view is severely restricted when looking for oncoming traffic due to this issue also. Can someone please make this tree and others with the same issues along Arle Road a priority rather than waiting the 28 days between departments reacting to each others findings.
