Overhanging branches

Reported via desktop in the Overhanging branches category anonymously at 22:05, Wed 13 September 2023

Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 4992077.

This tree outside my house @ 120 Drayton is blocking out the light in my kitchen & the branches which have not been trimmed for many, many years are hanging over my front lawn causing debris on the upper & lower window sills also the front door. I have complained about this problem numerous times during the past 20+ years but nothing has been done to alleviate this problem.

    Thanks for your enquiry regarding a Council owned tree.

    A qualified tree surveyor has assessed your request and following a site visit has recommended works. On completion of the works you may feel the task undertaken may not fully address the issue raised. Aragon Direct Services employ qualified tree surveyors to undertake the inspections and all works recommended are in accordance within the guidance contained within the Peterborough Tree & Woodland Strategy 2018-2028.

    Continued management of all 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.
