The tree in the pavement outside 51 Sandringham Road is badly overhanging into my front garde
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7101250.
The problem has got suddenly worse. The branches are very close to the front windows and it could be very dangerous if we have any more bad winds.

This tree has been inspected and is not considered to require remedial works at this time. Bromley will only undertake works to a tree for an identified health & safety or highway obstruction issue. The situation will be reviewed cyclically and any required action will be addressed within a future works programme.
