Tree stump safety / image concern
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7307916.
In 2020, the diseased tree was cut down and the stump has been left. Since then, it has become a urinating station for dog walkers and a mini playground for the local children. Children sit on, and climb on the stump unaware that its covered in dog urine. There is usually a large amount of fungus growing on the side which the youths like to kick across the path and into my front garden. Other trees that were removed in the street have had the stumps ground down to remove any risk of injury and to make it much less unsightly. Can this stump be removed please?

Continued management of all our trees forms an integral part of this strategy.
