Manor Road Barton-Le-Clay on the corner of Blakelands

Reported via iOS in the Roots impacting property category anonymously at 12:36, Monday 30 June 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 424703.

Silver Birch tree is too large for the environment. Roots now causing damage to garden wall (9” brick construction) of residential property at 1 Blakelands. There has been previous reduction work carried out in 2021, but the tree has grown even larger. Several limbs are now growing over into my garden. On several occasions limbs fall onto the footpath which is used by elderly residents and children walking to Ramsey Lower school which presents a dangerous hazard.
