The tree outside my house is now very overgrown such that it is interfering with the overhead wifi cabling. It is also overhanging over the street, right to the other side of the road. Please see pictures. I'm also concerned about the large crack in the tree trunk. Please can you arrange for the tree to be drastically cut back or better still cut right down to its stump.
