Ash tree in a tangle

Question

This is a homeowners section, but this tree’s actual owners are unknown. AFAIK, it's a legal grey area.

In the neighbourhood, some people are convinced that the tree is a major hazard, so it must be cut down.

Adding to the complexity:  The tree services available are fairly well-equipped, well-experienced, — and without a clue or interest in actual tree care.

Yes. It may be strange to hear, but the chances of getting a professional arborist are nil.
 

What, if anything, would you tell the local residents?  The tree service?

The tree has been very neglected.

Perhaps marking some limbs for cutting would be useful.

I see the beginnings of die back in the crown .. As you say its a right old mess with included pipe work ! I would not say its an immediate hazard but not overly pretty . Take it down and start again . At a guess I would say its highways tree .

Yes I missed that but legal eagle eyes noticed the car plates and what side of road they parked on I suppose.

The sunshine and bare skin is a giveaway too :ahhhhh:

 

Is it a telephone pole it's growing around?

Does the local telephone company have any interest in cutting the tree?
