Tree issues

Reported via desktop in the Leaf fall, berries or sap category anonymously at 19:13, Tue 1 October 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6539932.

I have reported the problems with a tree between 32 and 34 Valley Road for 3 years through NCC Report a tree I have had no satisfactory follow up to the issues I have raised, so the following problems are still ongoing Cars being covered in bird droppings and needing to be cleaned more regularly to avoid paint damage, also the sap for several months of the year cause paint damage to the cars, and attracts wasps, the pathing is lifting to the side of the tree causing a trip hazard, I have osteoarthritis, and my neighbour has arthritis, The tree is almost touching the roof of my property, and when windy. it touches the property, and due to the branches being thin, they easily snap in the wind and land on the cars As a tenant of NCC I would appreciate this problem being looked at
