Council Forms

Report a problem with a tree

Before you begin

We don't deal with reports about:

• Falling leaves or debris, such as fruit, aphids or honeydew.
• Branches overhanging your land.
• Trees touching overhead wires.
• Poor television reception - you should consider how any nearby trees may grow when you're locating your aerial or satellite dish.
• Trees blocking light into your home or garden.

You have a right to prune any overhanging branches from council or privately owned trees back to the boundary of your property, unless it's a protected tree or you live in a conservation area.
