Will the Councilremove or cutbacka tree which is growing near my garden?
A. Each case is looked at individually. Urgent matters, such as a dangerous tree will be dealt with within 24 hours. A decision on less urgent matters will be given within 7 days. Usually, the Council will not remove or cut back a tree if it is not dangerous or causing any damage to property. Shade, leaves, blossom, pollen or seed distribution are not normally reasons to remove or cut back a tree.
