Overhanging trees touching roof and roof tiles

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 18:51, Sat 29 June 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6171161.

The trees on the other side of my fence having now grown so much they are touching my bungalow roof and I am concerned that the tiles will be damaged. The hedgerow also is now encroaching on my property and needs reducing. The trees alongside my fence are also hanging over my garden and regularly dropping cherries, leaves, blossom and debris.

  • The overhanging tree situation is getting worse and the trees and the hedges are now touching my front bungalow windows and I also can’t get access down the side of my bungalow. An update from the Council as to when they are planning to complete the works as indicate above would be appreciated.
