Overgrown trees

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 18:32, Fri 17 May 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 5988091.

The trees down the left side of the road are well overgrown and are overhanging people gardens. The leaves and blossom are a constant problem blocking drainage on my driveway. Several of my neighbours have spoken to me saying they feel the same, ie the trees need cutting back.
