Overgrown tree issues becoming dangerous

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We need these tree’s in our street to be cut back and maintained as much as possible as it’s becoming such a health and dangerous issue to the community and no one seems to be listening or helping.
Cars are been damaged
People are slipping and falling on wet leaves, massive branches falling from tress
Houses suffering from no natural sunlight
Electricity bills sky high as lights are needing to be on during the day.
All because of overgrown mass amount of trees and bushes.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Maintenance of local roads, including any trees on these roads, are a matter for the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here:
