Outside number 26 Priory Terrace

Reported via mobile in the Other tree issue category anonymously at 10:54, Thu 5 December 2024

Sent to Camden Borough Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6822327.

We’ve asked for the plane tree in front of 26 Priory Terrace to be cut back for years now. The correspondence has been made by our neighbour upstairs, Liz Specterman.

Twice she was asked to suspend the parking bay in front of the property only for Camden not to show up without offering a reason. And she has received little or no response despite chasing for more than four years.

The tree is supposed to be pollarded every two years. After a report was shared with Camden in 2006 that the roots of the tree may cause movement and subsidence , Camden were diligent until 2020 after which nothing has happened. The company we used suggested that Camden was at legal risk should they fail to keep pruning on a reasonable schedule and there is movement that damages nearby properties including ours.

The size of the tree and the lack of pruning has also caused a loss of light to at least three properties including ours. A flock of pigeons have also started nesting in the trees and their excrement is disgusting and we believe is causing a health hazard.

Could you please get in touch and let us know when the tree will be pruned? We cannot understand the of communication and action

Best, Sunil Nair
