Overgrown Leylandi Tree causing footpath and sewer issues
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 1 day, 4 hours, 4 minutes later. ref: 7780260.
This tree was originally planted in a garden but the boundary was revised after a change of property ownership, and the tree is now in the council verge. It has grown excessively and is causing the fottpath to swell and crack. in addition Anglia Water have been called out to remove a root from this tree that was blocking Sewer waste. Although the tree has been trimmed it is not so big as to be a hazard to road users as there is no clear sight line around the close.
