Tree overhanging road - Brassknocker Hill
Reported in the Overgrown vegetation in Council parks and green spaces category anonymously at 11:45, Mon 17 June 2019
Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 5 minutes later. Council ref: 1663588.
I just drove up Brassknocker Hill and noticed that there's a tree which appears to be in the process of falling into the road.
It's not all that large (perhaps 10cm diameter as I drove underneath) but is leaning into the carriageway.
While a car can pass underneath and perhaps even a low van, something taller will have to avoid it or hit it.
It's on the uphill carriageway just after the 30 limit and before the turning to the Combe Grove hotel (i.e. just uphill of the S-bend),
