The branches of the tree are overhanging the footpath and are now dangling down and causing pedestrians to have to dodge the branches - it is becoming dangerous. The roots of this tree are also increasing onto my property (flower beds) This tree is in need of TLC. It’s branches are also well overhanging the highway.

  • 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). Work has been identified to lift the canopy of the trees over the path and road.

    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
