It’s come to my attention that the tree at the top of our road is really overgrown which I believe is council owned ,as there is also a black planter that has been put there by the council which looks maintained .Now and then neighbours do cut the grass area to tidy it up but this isn’t the case at the moment due to there being a wasps nest in the tree which is causing lots of concern as a neighbours dog got stung and also i was told a visiting child of one of the top houses got stung .As you can on the photos attached the tree is now so overgrown on the path that it’s harder to walk through and people are avoiding the pathway and walking around intro the road due to wasps & overgrowth.can you look into this for me please as neighbours are really anxious about it and as there cars are parked other side of tree the wasps fly over there too .
