Tree is damaged problem

Reported in the Tree is damaged category by Gloucestershire County Council at 11:21, Mon 1 December 2025

FixMyStreet ref: 8496375.

Good afternoon,

Please could a job be raised for a tree inspector to have a look at the tree location as above and as shown on the pics.

This is not an urgent matter as a safety inspector has had a look at the tree is healthy and stable. However it is leaning into the highway as it is growing and so may present an issue in the future – so it may be pertinent to intervene sooner before it gets much bigger.

We need to arbs officer’s view on what level of risk this tree poses in the future and whether there is value in getting in before it presents an unacceptable risk to the public – if indeed it will at all.
