Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2753287.
These are the seedlings I have removed from my garden this morning and will have to do this again in a few weeks. Apart from this yearly problem the gutters have to be cleaned twice a year at personal cost. Do you think this is acceptable. A tree has recently been removed a few houses away. My next door neighbour also has a problem with the trees and has often complained. I am 72 years old and cannot bend for hours sorting out the mess that the trees make. I love trees and would welcome the planting of some species that do not produce so much mess and hard work.

Thanks for your enquiry regarding a council-owned tree.
In accordance with the Peterborough Tree & Woodland Strategy 2018-2028, a qualified tree surveyor has assessed your request and concluded that there is no need to undertake tree works.
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.
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. We also carry out maintenance work if it's needed.
For further information please read the Peterborough Tree & Woodland Strategy 2018-2028
I trust this answers your enquiry, however, should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Aragon Direct Services.
State changed to: No further action
