Action scheduled
Trees behind the factory are over hanging and causing flooding within factory due to gutters being blocked.
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8142805.
Hello. The trees at the back of the property are very overgrown and are causing issues with our drainage system. The guttering is becoming very blocked which is backing up into the factory, causing flooding within the building. I have marked one tree on the map but it is many trees within that area that backs onto the roundabout. We were needing someone to trim down the trees to stop this happening please.

Hello. I was wondering if there was an update on when this will be completed. I understand you said completed within 26 weeks, currently working at 59 days but it has now been 12 weeks and the guttering is blocking and continues to cause a lot of damage within the factory. With the extra rain scheduled this will cause a lot of issues for us.

Hello, Is there an update as to when the trees will be cut back? We are still having daily issues with flooding when raining and with the recent cold weather, it has become more difficult.
