Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8720927.
Can the parish council please refer you to fms ref 8383482 following a report back in november relating to dead trees on the row off bengal lane which i believe is rn16. the report shows as ‘closed' but no addressing of the original complaint or reason for the closure is shown. can the council please have clarification of what was found when inspected following the original report and what action is planned or has been taken with the landowner to consider the tree concerns highlighted so that the council can feed back to the resident who originally highlighted the issue.
