Tree overgrown

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown trees category anonymously at 20:29, Thursday 15 August 2024

Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6362219.

Tree on the corner of Derwent Drive and Wye Place needs pruning back and the low brunches cut back. The branches are reaching out over the paths and that low you have to duck to walk under them. It's dropping lots of sap over vehicles that we are not allowed to park on driveways and have to park on the road, though soon the branches will be hanging over the driveway. The tree will need to to be pruned this autumn before someone is injured or buildings or cars damaged
