Thank you for your enquiry regarding a Council owned tree.
A qualified tree surveyor has assessed your request and following a site visit has been unable to recommend any further action on this occasion.
Please be aware that Aragon Direct Services manages the Council owned trees in accordance with the Peterborough Tree & Woodland Strategy 2018-2028.
Continued management of all of our trees forms an integral part of this strategy. All Council owned trees are surveyed by a qualified surveyor for safety every one to five years, depending on how much the area surrounding them is used. Where inspection identifies maintenance work it is scheduled in accordingly with safety issues forming the highest priority.
We don't prune or remove a council-owned tree to remove or reduce blossom, tree sap, honeydew or remove fallen leaves and blossom from private land. Tree sap or honeydew are a seasonal problem. When we plant new trees, we try to choose those that are less likely to cause this problem. You can remove tree sap or honeydew from your car using warm soapy water. We regularly sweep leaves and blossom from our parks, roads, and footpaths or cycle paths that run alongside them.
For further information please read the Peterborough Tree & Woodland Strategy 2018-2028
We trust this answers your query. However, should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact Aragon Direct Services.
State changed to: No further action
