Tree roots of giant sequoia have broken through pavement in several places making it dangerous to walk on.
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7959268.
Pavement in Saint Mary’s Court has been seriously disrupted by tree roots of giant sequoia at number 12 (our house). The pavement is now dangerous to walk on. An attempt to repair the pavement was made a few years ago but the roots have broken through the patch in several places. The tree is protected and in good health according to the last survey report, but the pavement is unusable. The pavement on Blisworth Road is also affected.

The surveyor marked up the areas with yellow paint requiring attention. The team of workers have only completed part of the work. The area at the front of the house that has been repaired if not as wide as the yellow marks the rear Ken has not been dropped inline with the other path edges. The section marked up on Blisworth road has not been repaired as of yet but the yellow paint clearly indicates the area as marked up by the surveyor.
