The trees at the back of our neighbours gardens are dangerous

Reported via desktop in the Nuisance or dangerous trees on private land category by Carol May Walton at 10:24, Friday 20 September 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6493360.

The trees are so very tall they will cause damage to surrounding properties, or even more serious they will cause harm to people or children and anything in their path should they fall. Not only do they block sunlight they are extremely messy and are home to birds which cause such a mess. The tree to the right is covered in ivy and when high wind come it sways franticly , we are so worried it will fall over causing unspeakable damage to life and property . We are not wanting them totally felled but just cut down to a safe hight for all concerned as they are dangerously over grown. Please could you address this for us . One tree is in a private garden and the other is a council property, both directly behind our bungalow. The amount of people that have made comment on the dangers they could do to property and life should they fall. Needless to say this is a growing concern the longer they are left untreated. Yours sincerely Carol Walton
