This tree is rotten and overhanging my garden. I am worried that it is going to fall and will cause serious damage to my property. Can someone please come and remove it.

Thank you for your enquiry. We’ve now carried out a review and confirmed that the issue raised does not relate to the road network or an asset maintained by the Roads Service.
We have passed your enquiry on to our Landscape Services Team who will now take forward the matter and action accordingly.

We’ve completed our inspection and were unable to log a defect requiring action by the Roads Service.
In many cases, this means the issue may relate to land or infrastructure that is not maintained by our service. This could include areas looked after by another part of the Council — such as housing, landscape, or waste services — or by a third party, such as a utility provider, housing association, developer, or private landowner.
If the situation changes, or if you’re able to provide additional information, you’re welcome to get back in touch. However, if the issue continues to fall outside the Roads Service’s responsibility, it will remain with the appropriate service or owner to address.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention
