Plum tree limb overhanging the road and getting lower and lower all the time. It would be difficult for a high van or an emergency ambulance(with a roof bar, to go underneath without contact between the bough and the top of the vehicle. Other branches are also leaning over the road. The worry is that the weight of the branch will cause it to fall into the road with the possibility of harm to persons or property

At the southern end of the land belonging to the property 15a Ruspidge Road. It overlooks the road opposite 19 Ruspidge Road. The problem has become apparent in the last month or so, made worse by the last heavy storms and by the heavy fruit on the tree
