Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive to assist with the following query: I have been asking for a number of years now to have two large trees removed from the side of my Home -( private address supplied). They hang over our back garden and completely shade the garden from sunshine all year round. This is so unfair and my husband has medical problems and is now unable to do anything with them. To make it even worse, when the sun gets to the front of the house it's completely blocked with a large tree to the side of our gate so very stressing on both of us."
