Directly Outside no 38 close to tree outside 36/38

The tree is fairly new, planted in last year to 18 months. Outside 38 Solent Road NW6 1TU.

I noticed today that some of the branches are hanging very low and all are heavily laden with small apples. One branch in particular is hanging so low it is touching the parked car beneath it. If it breaks off in these high winds, it will damage the car.

I am also concerned that fruit may fall on pedestrians, particularly children and the elderly. This is a busy street with many pedestrians because the West Hampstead Medical Centre is further down the road and people pass by all day long. I attach several photos for you to see the problem.

I hope you will be able to address this issue, sooner rather than later before there is an accident.

Thank you for your help.

Note: Tree outside 38 is not identified on Fix My Street
