Proposal

Species Unknown. Extremely tall tree leaning (dangerously) against a dry stone wall on Blackburn Road. Stones are already being dislodged causing potential danger to cars and pedestrians. I would like the council to come and inspect the tree and its surroundings and please make safe. Please note - I am 86 years of age and have difficulties managing complicated forms such as this. I cannot determine what work needs to be carried out to make the tree safe and would appreciate it if the council could make an inspection at the earliest opportunity.
