Did you know…?

Thank you for your report. As our latest routine inspection, we have specified the necessary tree works e.g. cutting back branches as part of routine maintenance. Please understand that we are unable to maintain all street trees simultaneously. Borough-wide tree maintenance is prioritised by risk to public safety, so lower-risk trees will be addressed as work progresses on higher-risk ones. We anticipated the work can be done in Winter 2026/27 subject to actually progress. We apologise for not being able to provide a specific date at this time, but we are managing the work as efficiently as possible within our resource limits.
