Hi, I received an email saying you’ll bring 2 new recycling wheel lead containers but, this is not the correct one, I refer to the container you normally have on the street like this one below attached we need. Adding 2 more next to this one that would be great.
Many thanks

Resident has called back as nothing has been done about the over hanging trees near 41 and 49 Wadhurst Close, would this be able to be looked at again for the resident, as they are overhanging even more. They are concerned that the trees and they are making the area very dark.

Thank you for your update. Some of the work to these trees has been carried out, however on inspection, some additional work is required and our contractor has been given instructions to carry out the additional pruning. Our contractor is working through a backlog of work at the moment, they will move on to this job as soon as they are able to. Thank you for your patience whilst we work to address this issue.

No action is to be taken regarding the reported tree, please note that as outlined in our Tree Management Strategy (Tree management – London Borough of Bromley) the Council will not prune trees in relation to the following:
• Branches overhanging properties - residents have the right to exorcise their right under Common Law to prune back branches to their property boundary.
• Where a tree is thought be overly large.
• Interference with satellite, TV, or other media reception.
• Branches and/or limbs in physical contact with telephone wires - telephone wires are plastic coated and faults on the line are very rarely caused by contact with branches.
• Excessive leaf fall: this is a seasonal problem and residents are expected to clear any leaf litter falling on their properties themselves. Leaf fall on the highway will be addressed through our street cleansing regime.
• Fruit fall: this is a seasonal problem and residents are expected to clear any fruit falling on their properties themselves. Fruit fall on the highway will be addressed through our street cleansing regime.
• Problems associated with pollen.
• Excreta caused by insects or birds: honeydew (aphid excreta) and bird droppings are not sticky sap are not recognised in law as a ‘legal nuisance’
• Obstruction of view: there are no rights associated with maintaining trees in accordance with maintaining views in British law
• Lack of light: there is no ‘Right to light’ (or shade) in British law.
State changed to: No further action
