Trees
While trees can make an estate look green and mature they can also cause problems if they become dangerous.
Should you be having a problem with a tree that is in or near your garden, maybe on a footpath outside your home, please contact us.
We can then pass this information onto the Customer Services Department at the council and an inspector will visit and report back and tell you if any work is to be done to the tree. The Customer Services Department have 20 working days to report back to you.
The priority for dealing with trees is to tend to those that are dead, diseased, dying or dangerous. These tress will be given a high priority and be dealt with first.
For other problems with trees, a waiting list is held and they are given a priority and added to this list. It can depend on the amount of requests and the money available as to how many of these trees have work carried out on them.
It is important to also note that the council does not have a duty to prune a tree back if it is blocking light and while this work may be added to the waiting list, it would be given a low priority.
