Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6178328.

Trees and undergrowth encroaching on my boundary and overhanging leading to damage of property and risk to family members with regular large branches falling into garden. I have reported this issue on multiple occasions but still no action taken.

  • 75 Grasscroft, NN2 8QL, Has over grown leylandi trees in his rear garden, their height is over 1 and 1/2 times that of the house. Their roots are forcing the ground in my garden, numerous branches fall from these trees when it is windy, and the leaves being acid have killed a large portion of my rear garden. I have spoken to the owner on many times over the years but to no avail, also at the rear his ivy has now overgrown my fence and is starting to block the alleyway. We are on a good relationship but he has no interest in his garden area. Something needs to be down under health and safety, if these trees were to fall , serious damage would be caused to several properties. Action is required most urgent.

  • Hello, we have an overhanging ash tree at the top of our neighbours garden. It was cut down some 25 years ago and now has regrown into a 40 feet off shoot. It’s blocking our light and as it has multiple trucks we are concerned it will fall on our property causing damage or harm. And would like it removed.
