Your contractor only cut trees in over next doors garden (Lullingstone crescent) not mine. Can you send them back to do the job properly.
-
Only cut trees in next doors garden not mine. He also put in a report so your contractor only did half the job required. Please send them back as pictures I’ve sent you are exactly the same as before as nothing was cut over my garden.

Thank you for your comments. As details above, in line with our tree strategy, we do not cut boundary overhang only works on the grounds of health and safety which in this instance was dead/damaged branches. A site visit is organised to investigate works undertaken which you will be updated afterwards.
