Large branch broken from tree but hanging

Reported via mobile in the Hanging / broken branch category anonymously at 17:24, Sat 30 August 2025

Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 8096110.

A large broken branch is caught up high in a tree amongst other branches and could fall close to a public path. The tree in question is on Cherry Orton rd PE2 5EQ outside 35a. I rang the council emergency phone number as per the website advice but unfortunately there was no answer.
