Tree damaging bridge structure
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4762968.
Southside of A222, this tree is growing in the foundations of the bridge structure and in time will seriously damage it. It needs to be removed and killed (sadly). (PS this is the third time this has happened - previous tree poisoning has not been effective. Please note that whilst the tree is on private land, Cllr Colin Smith has on both previous occasions requested that the matter be dealt with to avoid future cost to the Council)

We have just referred the matter to Councillor Colin Smith again who on at least two previous occasions (eg https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 3065096 and https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 350214 and https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 2376911 ) has arranged for this work to be done because in the long term it is in the Council's best interests as it avoids costly repairs to the publicly owned bridge.

Further works are necessary to resolve the issue and have been scheduled for action.

Due to three recent storms which has resulted in a high volume of tree related emergency callouts which the teams are making progress working their way through. The storm clear up process may impact causing delays for routine works raised for enquiries. The contractor is in hand to revisit site to remove and poison self-sets. Thank you for your patience.
