Verge tree again

[eggsarascal]

A friend has an tree (not sure of species) outside her boundary that she believes is a council tree, she wrote to the council a few times and just gets back a stock email and nothing is getting done, the tree has dropped a few decent size branches in the past and a tree went over just up the road from her house on Wednesday which as brought the matter to the forefront again. Into the mix there are power lines running through the tree.

 

What, if anything can she do about it? She doesn't mind paying a tree surgeon/consultant if that may get her some sort of result/reassurance. I'm waiting on pictures.

If there are power lines then speak to your local power network team. They are normally very helpful although it might depend on the actual risk to the cables.

If she isnt getting reasonable response from local authority best thing is to contact local councillors (parish/town/district/county) and email council clerks so it can be brought forward for discussion. Some body might take notice then. Worth emailing local highways directly too.
