I reported this issue pre Covid and it’s now worse than ever between 20, 22 & 24 Holywell Dene Road there are three trees in particular that are beyond reasonable control. Branches are literally dangling head height as you walking on pavement this is now quite dangerous and injuries will occur. The tree outside number 24 is near touching the property and has also attracted nesting wood pigeons that are constantly fouling the garden the pavement and vehicles it’s disgusting now. I’ve attached pics of car that is fouled on daily every single day! The last picture is after being washed and still covered in poo! It’s really become a problem can I shoot them? The branches on these three trees need cutting back as soon as possible and rbis will curtail the nesting too. Constant problem at 24 is light, the tree is hampering any light we may enjoy. This will be the same for 20 & 22 too. Please send the Treebusters!
