Reported via desktop in the Nuisance or dangerous trees on private land category anonymously at 16:27, Tuesday 10 February 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8886952.

There is a large tree that has blown down in storms that has been slowly sliding down the hill towards the A697 northbound. It’s has been gradually getting closer to the road & urgently needs looking at as it will cause a serious accident when if slips further. It is sticking out onto the road & need dragging out asap. There are a lot of fallen trees on that part of the road that also require attention as it is a serious accident waiting to happen.
