The overhanging trees growing on common ground are becoming dangerous. The branches are falling off into both the road and the pathway. I’ve already caught my foot in a branch on the path and very nearly took a tumble, not great when you’re 66 years young. I’ve also diced with death with the oncoming traffic to remove large branches from the road which could cause a nasty accident, especially at night time when visibility is worse. The tree branches need to be cut back before any foliage grows. In addition the ivy covering the ground canopy is encroaching on the path and is now so deep it is likely a haven for all the rubbish people throw from their car windows. The whole area is an eyesore.
