Tree is damaged problem

Reported in the Tree is damaged category by Gloucestershire County Council at 12:22, Wednesday 14 January 2026

FixMyStreet ref: 8686476.

Problem branch on tree - Whilst walking my dog along Reddings Road (The Reddings) I noticed a large branch of a tree that I think may be unsafe. It looks like it has been affected by friction from overhead cables.
The tree itself (a horse chestnut I believe) looks in good condition, but I’m concerned if the branch (which overhangs the road) were to fall on someone it could cause injury. So can someone please arrange to inspect and remove the branch.
