Concern about leaning tree by Hayswood Road - outside Kingwell Hall
The tree is approximately a metre from the road and has a decent lean on it over half the tree is overhanging the road. This is at least a 40ft tree weighing between 15-20tons and there's concern that in high winds this tree could be uprooted, and if so would fall on Kingwell Barn damaging property and could also fall on passing traffic which would seriously injure or kill passing drivers/passengers. A tree surgeon recently looked at the tree and declared it healthy, but there's concern from residents that the health wouldn't withstand the strong winds given the lean on the tree. Please could you take a look into it?
