Dead tree fallen
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4332143.
August 2021 I reported several dead trees that were at risk of falling onto the highway. One has now fallen and is blocking the pavement. The others are still overhanging the highway and continue to be at risk of falling, with the risk that when they next fall they may fall onto a pedestrian or car. When I previously alerted the council to this they refused to address the issue as the land is owned by a private landowner. I suggest that between you this issue is addressed before someone is killed.
