A Council tree is dropping seeds, leaves or fruit – can it be pruned?
Leaves, seeds and fruit are carried on the wind, and are largely out of the control of the Council, therefore pruning work will not normally be carried out based solely on problems arising from their seasonal fall. The fall of leaves, seeds and fruit from trees can cause frustration, though it is widely accepted that this is an unavoidable problem which occurs together with all the benefits associated with living in proximity to trees. Our street-cleaning section regularly sweeps and cleans the streets to prevent falling leaves and fruit from causing too much of a problem. If you want to know when your street is due for cleaning, contact our street-cleansing section. Please telephone Street Scene on 01329 236100 or email customerservices@fareham.gov.uk.
