Council owned trees

Cutting back branches overhanging a property

We do not carry out non-essential tree work, such as cutting back branches overhanging a property. (Unless they are causing damage or are in direct contact with a property). We focus our limited resources where they are most needed. This includes work to trees that reduces the risk of harm to persons or property.
