  • Thank you for your Highways report.

    Landowners can cut back branches encroaching up to their property boundary. Provided this is conducted by a competent person and arisings are disposed of responsibly.
    Many thanks,

  • Customer called to advise that the trees are very large beech trees that are growing above the house. The trees need reducing and not just trimming back at the boundary and its not something they can do themselves. The customer advised that these trees have previously been maintained and cut back by the council as they are on the highway not private land.
