Subject: Urgent: Overgrown Tree Causing Damage and Obstruction – Stratford Drive, Wootton NN4 6JT
Dear [Council/Highways Department/Relevant Team],
I am writing to report an overgrown tree located on Stratford Drive, Wootton, Northampton NN4 6JT, which is currently causing multiple safety and maintenance issues.
The tree in question is:
Overgrown and encroaching onto private driveways
Damaging the driveway surface due to root spread
Obstructing telephone lines and posing a risk to essential services
Dropping large branches, one of which recently fell and blocked the driveway
Creating a general safety hazard for pedestrians, residents, and vehicles
The current condition of the tree presents a risk not only to property but also to public safety, especially in adverse weather.
I kindly request that the council or relevant department assess the situation and take appropriate action as soon as possible. I am happy to provide photos or further details if required.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter
