Tree surgeon refuses to tackle saying northern power grid only due to power cables under branch. Northern Powergrid say they don't consider it an emergency and are working elsewhere! It is potentially a danger to life as above pavement leading to bus stop on A192 also potentially landing on traffic if windy.
