  • It is not just one tree; the bus driver complained there are a number of trees overhanging the road which prevent him from driving his double-decker bus fully in the lane. His bus has been scratched by foliage; he is concerned about the potential for accidents. The area concerned is Bloomfield Road from about Hensley Road up to just past the Crescent. Don't blame the messenger!

  • These trees are growing from private land so the council will follow up with the landowners to take the appropriate action.
