Very large tree unsafely overhangs property
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6388713.
Very large tree in front of numbers 13,14 and 15 Kirkmeadow has now grown to such an extent that it is overhanging all three residences. During the recent high winds and rain due to the movement of the branches the tree was virtually contacting the sheds, greenhouse and fence on two of the properties. It should also be noted that adjacent to the sheds and fences is the only pedestrian access to both 13 and 14 and this makes walking in and out during stormy weather very unpleasant! Water dripping off the tree over a period of time has also lead to a build up of moss etc on the shed roofs. Very concerned as to what might happen if one of the overhanging branches breaks during a storm, particularly over the pedestrian access way.
