  • Branches from the tree are hanging over the pavement making it dangerous. I needed to walk in the road to pass the tree.

  • On Saturday evening (26th July), I fell over whilst walking along James St West by Bath College. The willow tree is completely overgrown and hanging down over the full width of the pavement making it impossible to walk on the pavement. I tripped on a raised pavement slab that I couldn't see due to the density of the tree! The tree needs cutting-back asap, the only alternative is to walk out in a busy road.
