Fixed
22
Sent to Camden Borough Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8181950.
The tree outside #22 has not been lopped / pruned at the top in over 10 years and needs proper maintenance. It is now very tall (higher than the houses), and it is leaning significantly to one side. There are also very low hanging branches which are a problem for lorries. Passing lorries have hit the leaning tree and caused damage to the tree trunk and hit the low lying branches. In the recent high winds earlier this week it looked precarious. In addition, there are drains nearby which are likely being compromised by the tree roots. The tree trimmers from the Council that come around have only cut off a token low lying branch. The tree outside #24 has also not been lopped for over 10 years. Can you please advise if and when future works are planned to address this issue? Thank you for your attention.
