Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6232824.
FixMyStreet ref: 6215168 Previous report. Stated these are responsibility of adjacent estate. When did this happen as they have always been responsibility of the council. Used to contact Sheila Guilder at the council who then got permission from Michael Venton Daventry council to allow them to be trimmed. Lamport Estate have nothing to do with these as the issue is always raised at Parish Council meeting and they have to pass it to West Northamptonshire Council. I have an email confirming they belong to the council.

Thank you the residents have tidied up the bottom of the trees and have spent the last two weeks doing so, - at there own expenses, the trees now need to be cut up higher and any over growing branches I to the road need to be removed, The sycamore tree on the corner of the Croft also needs the top taking out as this overhangs the garden.
