Trees between Siddons way and overstone road very overgrown

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 15:14, Sat 5 July 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7813466.

The trees between Siddons way and overstone road are enormously overgrown with thick heavy branches overhanging onto Siddons way residents car parking. To our knowledge, the trees haven’t been maintained in years and therefore pose a danger if the branches are to fall onto cars or residents. No maintenance to reduce their height or width has taken place and they need scaling back please.

    Trees have not been attended to for at least 10 years. Leaves and fallen branches constant problem after rain and wind. Autumn brings deluge of leaves. Green bin collection just not possible to deal with the problem. We have had little rain for months but rain will come, fallen branches etc.
