2a Sandy Lane Leighton Buzzard LU73BE

Reported via mobile in the Obstructing visibility, footway, road, or sign category by Michael Snee at 14:52, Monday 15 June 2026

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14947.

Hello - I asked before, but this very large Oak Tree ( a self plant) is in the centre of the pavement, which is heavily used by walkers. Unfortunately now mobility scooters and wide push chairs have great difficulty in passing. Also the amount of debris this tree deposits is now blocking two road drains. Maybe a crown removal and management of branches could be considered? Kind regards

  • Just enquiring if any updates on this problem - today I witnessed a chap on a mobile wheelchair unable to pass between tree trunk and our front garden wall !

  • Your operatives removed lower branches of Oak Trees yesterday - thank you very much. It’s just a request AGAIN, as you see from photographs one tree is in middle of the pavement making passing very difficult for wheelchairs and motorised chairs ! - is there any chance this tree could be removed ? Kind regards Michael Snee
