This tree is leaning towards the property and appears to be getting closer, the height of the branches is getting lower and could cause injury to passers by being so low.

  • Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP). We have plans to remove this tree, the tree is diseased with cavities, and coupled with the lean, we believe it to be a risk to leave the tree in situ. We always look to replace/plant new trees as soon as we can.

    We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways
