Trees overgrown and at risk of damaging property

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 08:33, Monday 11 May 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9431756.

In December 2025 when a dead tree fell and had to be removed, the inspector agreed that many of the trees screening the A27 had overgrown and needed a review. He said a report would be fed up the line but I have not had an update. One tree in particular is so large that my property is at risk should it fall. This is impacting my home insurance.
