OK, thanks all. I'll mention to neighbour that tree could be suffering from dieback and he should get someone to properly assess it and then it's up to them to get on with it or not as the case may be, it does give our garden a bit of shelter from prevailing wind so will be sorry to see it go but if it's dying then so be it. Incidentally I think this tree has a TPO on it but I would guess that if it is dieback then that would override the TPO. Thanks again all

Thanks Doug, it's not my tree but a neighbour's few doors down. I'd noticed it wasn't in best of nick and then this weekend I noticed another neighbour's kids playing in their garden underneath it - it's got such a spread it's over maybe 4 gardens. Just crossed my mind that if it is dieback then it'll need dealt with sooner rather than later given the gardens aspect.

Hello all, Is this old Ash which isn't in best of condition just suffering from old age or is it Ash dieback? No problem if not clear from the photos Thanks for any comments.
