It is incredibly frustrating for residents who phone up the Council asking if someone could please come out and cut back a council-owned tree which is blocking light, dropping fruit or branches, pushing up its roots and causing cracks and bumps in pavements - or worse, threatening to undermine the foundations of nearby homes. 

For disabled and elderly residents, cracks in pavements caused by tree roots are a very real hazard.  Fiona says, “While these untended trees may be a low priority for the Council, they are a big problem for the people who have to put up with them.”
