The tree on public land directly behind my back garden has snapped during Fridays strong winds, as per the picture attached. This is currently perched on my fence and I am unable to remove.

I am also worried the part of the tree that remains standing will not withstand any further strong winds and request it's removal if possible please? I am worried this may not only damage my property but may also be a public safety issue as children often play in the vicinity.

Could I also request some of the lower branches on the larger tree behind this are trimmed? This tree stops the sun from getting to my garden and I have found the grass is constantly muddy.

Your help is much appreciated.
