This tree on the corner of Buckingham Road and Westminster Crescent is overgrown and over-hanging the boundary wall of the bungalow and creating a safety risk for the elderly resident. The tree urgently needs cutting back / pollarding. One large branch has already fallen, fortunately onto the grass verge on the road and is lying against the base of the trunk.
