Trees owned and managed by the Council

Our Tree Services team manages borough-owned trees in line with our Tree Risk Management Strategy.

.

We will not, unless legally obliged to do so, undertake works to otherwise healthy and well-formed trees for reasons of: 

• Disruption of light structures such as footpaths, paving and fences.
• Reduced light levels.
• Interference with television, phonelines and/or satellite reception.
• To alleviate problems caused by seasonal and/or natural phenomena e.g. leaf-fall, pollen, bird droppings, seeds or honeydew
• Personal medical complaints.
• Drains blocked by leaves or roots
• Branches overhanging boundaries where no actionable harm or damage is present
• Trees impacting on planning permissions on third party land.
  
  Trees will not be inspected in response to complaints of this nature.
