Pavement Blocked By Tree Growth
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4893106.
A large tree was felled by Bromley contractors however the stump was not removed. The tree has come back to life and the growth has totally overgrown the footpath which is now no longer visible and cannot be walked on/accessed without going onto the road.
This is dangerous, please remove the growth and tree stump so this does not happen again.

Can you please address this as a matter of urgency. I see it was already reported on the 15th August. This is a major safety issue that needs urgent attention. Many Thanks Local Resident

This is now growing into the road and could easily scratch passing cars.
Please action as quickly as possible.

This problem has not yet been addressed and is causing a major hazard. The unknown specie growing out of the tree stump has huge, multiple and dangerous thorns (2cms long) and could easily cause serious injury to a passer by. This growth has now completely blocked the pavement necessitating pedestrians to walk in the road. Please remove this growth and the tree stump urgently.

Our contractor has been notified to take the appropriate action.

Bravo Bromley council, going on two weeks since instructing your contractor and no work has taken place. The local children do love choosing between being hit by thorns in the face or walking in the road. Kudos to you

Dear Bromley Council. I plan to take over the entire area of Beckenham as you are yet to trim my bushells. I shall then slowly advance towards the civic cente. See you soon, love from Mr Bush

Dear Bromley Council. Today I have turned over a new leaf, both physically and metaphorically. Can we start a fresh? Please see the attached photo as an olive branch to you. I'd really like my bushells tidied, or preferably my whole existence to be ended. I cannot keep getting bigger. Kind regards Mr Bush

Contractors attended yesterday 5.10.23 - but only removed half of the dangerous bush growth. Please see photos of remaining bushes. Please can the contractors urgently re-attend and remove the remaining growth which is dangerous as it is blocking the pavement and is populated by very large and dangerous thorns.
-
Yes, only a half a job done by the contractors. Can you get them back asap to sort out. Hopefully it wont take as long to sort as the previous response time. Also, I assume the contractors will not try and charge twice for one job that should have been addressed on their visit.
-
Thank you for the comments, apologises for the delay, I have contacted our contractor to return and complete the job correctly and as soon as possible. Again, apologises for the lack of action by our contractors.

It is now two weeks since you said you would contact your contractors. The dangerous overgrowth has still not been removed. Please get your contractors to attend as a matter of urgency.
-
Thank you for the comment, our contractors are works through a long list of health and safety works. The list of works will be a little longer because of the weather. We appreciate your patience in the matter, our contractor will get there.

This still hasn't been completed, at 6.30am today the bush was still present as the removal wasn't completed in the initial work that was performed.
-
It is not fixed.
-
First reported 15 August and almost 3 months later and still not done. An unbelievable bad service.
