Huge tree on Purlewent Drive

The enormous evergreen tree acts as a barrier to light in our house, overhangs our domestic property and in strong winds the branches are inches from our upstairs window, therefore we are adversely affected by this tree situated on council land. There is no way we can prune these branches ourselves due to the size and height of the tree.

The vast tree roots extend a long way from the trunk, making the footpath unsafe outside our house as cracks are appearing in the path.

The path is now extremely dark at night due to the density of the branches.

Any help would be appreciated with this situation. Thank you.
