Low tree
Reported via mobile in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 20:04, Sun 7 December 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8514010.
There is a tree here that seems to be quite low and overhanging the path - you have to duck as you walk under it, and most of the time you cannot walk closer to the road to avoid it as a blue car parks half on the path under the tree too. It also has last year’s christmas lights still on it, which I haven’t seen on this year yet so assume they no longer work, and so it has the light’s cables dangling in places too
