Purple plum tree on the grass verge outside number 61

Reported via desktop in the Trees category anonymously at 20:14, Tue 9 July 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 409013.

The purple plum tree on the grass verge outside number 61 grows towards the house and therefore a lot of foliage overhangs the drive. This happens every summer. Please could it be pruned.

  • As per our policy, we are under no obligation to prune trees due to overhanging/encroaching foliage, nor are we required to prune trees for seasonal issues such as leaf drop, sap, bird mess etc. Additionally, due to the restricted budgets we are now working with in comparison to previous years, we are having to prioritise the defects that pose a higher risk in accordance with our Network Management Maintenance Plan. This does mean that not every defect reported to us will be considered as a priority for repair, as we need to ensure what budget we do have is being put towards addressing the most safety critical issues on the network at that moment in time.
