The tree outside the boundary of 17 Astrop Road has grown up into the overhead electric wires. It obstructs the view of drivers turning out of their drives on to Astrop Road. I have lived in Astrop Road for over 30 years and have never known the tree to be pruned. Please could it be pruned back in the near future.

  • I assume you've maintained the highway boundary (ie cut the grass outside your 'boundary' wall) for the 30 years you've lived there? If so you've also legally adopted it including the holly tree 👍
