Email sent to the Hightrees@CBC FAO of the TO
Resident has been in touch again.
Saying that despite a couple of letters sent to the resident. ( See notes on 29 / 05 and 22 / 10 ) From where the vegetation / trees are growing from.
The resident has still not cut back the vegetation / trees. That the over hanging vegetation is causing problems for vehicles being scratched and pedestrians along the footpath . Resident requesting that we deal with this. That if the resident doesn't deal with it. Then the council should cut it back.
Has been complaining about this for several months and nothing has been done. That's it's a 30 min job with a chain saw.. The house where the vegetation / trees is growing from is located around numbers 5 and 6 Horne Lane , Potton----------
