I live at 97 Tudor Road, but the tree is actually on Sutton Road near the cycle way crossing. Pic 1 shows one root that has hit the wall and then turned away. As it grows in diameter it is pushing the wall and has broken the wall. Pic 2 shows there are two more roots going towards or under the wall. The one comes into my garden. It is causing the end buttress to lean and again the wall has cracked. I measured it 12 months ago when I previously reported the issue. Since then it has tilted a further 15mm and the wall itself now wobbles if you touch it. I have two young Grand children and I certainly do not want it coming down on them. Your help to rectify this situation would be much appreciated. I am happy to do any digging or clearing necessary. Best Regards. Barry Houghton. You can contact me on 07865495637.

Rebuilding the wall will not address the problem in that the tree will continue to grow and put pressure on the wall making it unstable again. Please advise of action to be taken
