A large tree behind our fence at 81 Lessingham is overhanging our garden and we get all kinds of debris falling in all year round, including leaves, fruits/seeds, catkins and branches! We have lived here for 4 years and it has never been maintained. Because it is not in our garden, we can't do anything about it, yet it is highly impacting the use of our private garden! It makes our garden unusable for a lot of the year plus we have a 3 year old son and it is not safe for him to play in the garden with falling branches. We would like the branches that are overhanging our garden to be removed please.
