Massive tree leaning severely

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 12:19, Wed 19 November 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8439135.

I travel around this roundabout weekly & as someone who does gardening & has done some tree pruning & reduction works there is a very massive tree within the lower pedestrianised area of the roundabout that is leaning severely.

It looks like if the tree falls that it could fall onto the adjacent pedestrian pathway, potentially causing at least major injury to passer/s-by.
