Grebe House St Michaels Street St Albans Hertfordshire AL3 4SNAwaiting decisionSycamore, Common Hawthorne, Golden Weeping Willow. Trees to have branches trimmed as they are close to a fibre optic cable which services the HMWT. The overhanging branches are scraping off the galvanised zinc/paint layer, which is exposing it to rain and air and clogging roofs and gutters, trapping dampness that is accelerating rust. This is then causing dampness and mold in the sheds/containers presenting a health risk to our staff. This is being carried out in line with English Tort Law. Replanting is not required, as this is minor pruning only and not removing trees.Received 2 Nov 202626/0549/TCA
