Property at 36 West Court, Newsham, Blyth. I have reported this tree 🌳 issue over 4 times in the past 4 years and 2 work sheets were put into the Council for too get the work done, after 4 years No work has been done. I request to speak with an administrator for the department before I report this problem to the newspapers. This is terrible service from Northumberland County Council. Van's and hightop wagons are always hitting the stretched out branches. It is dangerous and it's root's are growing through the surrounding wall area, split down the property wall.
