“The council seems to like trunk calls, at which branch I don't know, maybe someone in the council might twig onto what is going on instead of leafing it out of the things to do lists.
But the seriously they need to root out the problems before everyone barks up the wrong tree!”

“Council does not seem to have much interest of taking care of trees what's growing in to peoples property's and hitting the phone lines or are the nuisance in other ways.There's few trees what's growing into my garden hitting the lines etc. Notified council years ago only thing what you get is promises.”

“There was no point warning the council, they should have gone straight to Special Branch.”
