[FLYING BANANA]

Yes we have a similar situation. The council will only cut the grass on level parts. Outside my front door there is a triangular piece of grass which has a steep bank. And within this area there is a large tree. The council won’t cut the grass as it’s not safe to do so because of the steepness of the bank. Nor will they trim the tree.

I have an allocated parking space under that tree but I won’t park either of the cars because of the sap, seeds and leaves. We have been fighting to get the tree trimmed. As for the grass both my neighbour and I cut it. She does the flat sections and I do the steep section.

We are now waiting on Cornwall Council to let us know who owns the land. There is talk that it might be orphan land. If that’s the case then we will be cutting the tree down with professional tree fellers.
