Proposal

I want to remove a huge sycamore tree at the bottom left hand side of my garden. It is leaning and has already damaged my neighbour's wall, and the cricket ground has complained as they say it has damaged their wall. The tree will be cut down to ground level. This is apparently URGENT according to the tree surgeon, there's a danger it could fall
