I’d like to report a problem with 4 large trees at the back on my garden fence. One tree is leaning and push against our garden fence but all 4 are very large, causing concern for our property in bad weather. When the weather is bad, all trees really sway in the wind and I am concerned they will break and fallen into our property, damaging our house. Given the recent tragedy from the collapsed tree in Southend, these trees are a really concern for me. Please can they be looked at. Many thanks
