Overhanging trees
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9544115.
Several of the trees branches in the park at the junction of Ethelbert Road/Ravensbourne Park are both touching the side walls of my home/right up against my house. All of the trees, which are inside the park. The tree situated at the front gate of the park and which is located at the front of my home, a very large branch of this tree is actually sitting and growing across my roof. I believe this is causing damage to the roof of my home. I will be contacting my insurance company to look into the matter and to take whatever action is necessary. The said trees have not been pruned for several years. I have observed that the trees overhanging on Ethelbert Road were pruned last year and the year before but not the trees adjacent to my home.
Also, another tree growing inside the park at the rear of my home, which I believe is an oak tree, a very large tree branch is growing across the top of my garden shed roof. The shed is actually supporting the tree branch. Another very large branch of this tree have grown half way across my rear garden and is very close to the roof of the house.
This is an urgent matter and I would appreciate if this matter can be dealt with urgently before any further damaged is caused to my roof.
