  • To give you more details/ The tree in question is a London Plane. It is on the street in front of 465 Kingsland Road. We recently had a burglary and the police mentioned that a contributing factor was the fact that the front of the house was shaded. The tree is blocking out the light so it gives the burglars a chance to hide and bee unseen. They recommended the tree being pollard to help. The tree is also getting quite large and blocking out the light to 463, 467 469 Kingsland Road. Thanks

    The tree is on the boundary of my property and the roots are pulling up the paving on my property but more importantly the house is occupied by elderly people and we had a serious fall the other day. As a matter of urgency can you please rectify the problem this tree has caused
