• Resident called to chase as the branch is now pushing fence at the bottom concern for security issue

• I write on behalf of Ms S. Anderson, an elderly resident of 56 Kent Road, BR5 4AB. As noted above, her back garden fence which borders Riverside Gardens has been dislodged even further since the problem was first reported in September. Should the fence collapse there will be easy access to her property from Riverside Gardens and she is naturally feeling nervous and vulnerable. It is unclear why this matter has apparently been investigated on the 2nd, 16th and 24th October. It is one extremely thick offshoot from the trunk which cannot be dealt with by the resident, nor should she have to. It would be greatly appreciated if this could be attended to as a matter of priority as this resident's security would be severely at risk should her fence be pushed over. L.Jones, Advocate and friend of Ms. S. Anderson.

• Although stated as closed on 'Fix my street', I hope this does not mean that no further action is scheduled as the resident of 56, Kent Road is becoming increasingly concerned that the tree trunk is pushing the back fence over. Should it collapse, then this will leave her property vulnerable to intruders from Riverside Gardens which backs onto her garden. She is elderly and is very anxious about the situation which was first reported back in September. She is willing to have work done from her garden if necessary as she has been advised it is difficult to access the tree from Riverside Gardens.

• As I am the report originator I am puzzled by the latest update on Fix My Street that I have been contacted and further details have been "outlined". I have had no communication regarding this matter and neither has the resident of 56, Kent Road. Please would the "further details" be forwarded to me: ljones818@btinternet.com or reported by letter to the resident, Ms S. Anderson. This matter has dragged on since September, 2023 and the further details referred to would, hopefully, indicate that the offending tree trunk would be cut back very soon before the fence it is leaning against gives way.
