Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Sycamore (T14) - Sectionally dismantle down to ground level. Large dead tree which overhangs road and public footpath. Risk of failure onto road/public footpath and causing injury/damage to road users. High target area. Cedar (T15) - Selective reduction of the most overextended limbs throughout crown, predominantly in the lower and mid crown, by a maximum of 1.5 metres, leaving limbs at a length of 9 metres on all aspects. Horse chestnut (T21) - Fell to ground level. Mixed species (G5) - Prune back to boundary fence, up to 2.4 metres above public footpath. Tree line is encroaching on public footpath and causing a hazard to users, as they are having to move closer to the road
