Tree growth blocking sunlight for neighbouring gardens

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 22:08, Mon 22 July 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6262813.

The tree’s have now grown so tall that the sunlight for the houses in Greenshaw / Porters Close is lost much earlier than that of a few years ago. The sun used to reach our garden until around 8pm and now is being lost around 5pm due to the tree height. Can the tops be cut please?

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue. Please Note: Land immediately adjacent to Porters Close and Greenshaw is owned and maintained by the local authority. We will however investigate in relation to the land owned and maintained by National Highways.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
