Huge inconvenience

Reported via mobile in the Nuisance or dangerous trees on private land category anonymously at 14:03, Fri 11 April 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7421901.

Preventing sunlight in garden so ruining grass, so much sap has come off it making the patio slippy it also prevents me from hanging washing out on the line as it gets covered in sticky sap and bird poo, there is always loads of flys and insects in the corner too. The leaves that come off the tree during autumn also make the ground very slippy and gets in my pond and drain. I often have to put the lights on in my house due to it blocking natural daylight. I had to remove my shed due to the tree.
