Number 6 western avenue Seaton delaval has had tree issues for years they overhang the alleyway this is attracting youths causing trouble it’s making the alleyway extremely dark and scary to walk though drug dealing is going on in this alleyway they even had a sofa in there not long ago so all the local youths could sit in there and be sheltered . The noise when youths are in there is terrible it’s making the alleyway unsafe with all the trees hanging down those trees are far to tall if there’s a bad storm they can cause damage to neighbouring houses many people have knocked on his door and he refuses to cut them down the trees being as big as they are is now creating anti social behaviour from local people not to mention the fact that the poor neighbours cannot see out there windows and the roots are coming into their garden they have spoke to him and his reply was “ F off “ his name is Mr Robinson and his garden is like step toe and sons it’s an absolute disgrace the council need to stand up and challenge him
