Large Fir tree - close to the A38 - possible danger to life
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8769876.
The tree is around 90 foot and well spread - as a fir tree it has shallow roots and we are concerned that the tree requires checking as the upper growth appears to be too heavy. If the tree falls it would likely fall onto the A38 or the property within its reach. If the tree could either be felled or topped to prevent.
Updates
-
With the recent rain and wind - this tree and other firs in the area require checking. A recent incident on the B3372 brought down powerlines and could have been fatal. Someone checked minor trees in Stidston lane but it is the large fir tree that poses a significant risk to life - if it falls either on the A38 or onto our property Robin Cottage.
