Proposal
Species Unknown. Extremely tall tree leaning (dangerously) against a dry stone wall on Blackburn Road. Stones are already being dislodged causing potential danger to cars and pedestrians. I would like the council to come and inspect the tree and its surroundings and please make safe. Please note - I am 86 years of age and have difficulties managing complicated forms such as this. I cannot determine what work needs to be carried out to make the tree safe and would appreciate it if the council could make an inspection at the earliest opportunity. Data via plota.co.uk
