Dangerous overhanging tree
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4250898.
This tree is in Kingswood Glen - hangs over the footpath and property in South Hill Road. Large branches keep falling and is dangerous for walkers and property owners - the tree needs to be cut back along with several others in that area. It’s an accident waiting to happen!

This problem has not been sorted even though Bromley council on the 10th March notified the contractor to take action!

Thank you for your comments. Works have been raised to dead wood the tree which has been issued to the contractor and in hand to be completed. Thank you for your patience.

It has now been two months since March when the council said contractor had been notified to take action. I chased last month and still had the same reply. Could you please let me know how long this is going to take. It was first reported back in February- we are no further along in getting this problem sorted.

Thank you for your continued patience, the contractor is in hand to visit site to undertake works.

Can you please let me know when this is going to be sorted? Another 3 weeks have passed and still nothing has been done! All the replies are the same - how long does this take to sort? I think I have been patient long enough now. Are you waiting for someone to get seriously hurt or even killed because that is what will happen if a large piece of the tree comes down. A lot of the trees in Kingswood need to be looked at as there is so much dead on many of them that need cutting back.

My apologies for the delays in completion of the works raised for the enquiry. The contractor has been instructed to undertake the works as a priority. Thank you for your continued patience.

Well yet again I write to follow up! Three weeks ago this job was going to be a priority yet still hasn’t been sorted. I see workers around but if you speak with them they are not interested!! How long will this take? I have been requesting this since February and my patience has finally run out!! There are only so many times you can be told that the contractor is sorting it!
-
My apologies that your enquiry has an unresolved status. I have chased up completion of the works with the contractor who will undertake them as soon as possible.

Resident called to advise contractors have not yet attended, issue has been ongoing for past 7 months. Please can this be done as a matter of urgency.
-
Resident has again called for progress. This was 1st reported on 21/02/23 and it is now November. The tree in question. It is now becoming more dangerous to houses and passers by. Branches have already started to fall off the tree and landed in gardens where children are playing. This is a matter of urgency as resident fears accident could happen.
