It is on the lane going through Milson outside of Court Cottage DY14 0AU
Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14163293.
The tree is hanging over the lane. The recent storm has made it unstable so that it is leaning over the lane more. Tractors and other vehicles are taking off the lower branches of the tree as they drive down the lane.
Can you please investigate and have the tree trimmed back?

URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED Our concerns for the dangerous tree are growing, as we continue to have weather warnings for high winds and storms. Potentially, the tree will cause major damage to our residence and of course block the lane. This concern was first reported on 16th December 2024 and to date has not been investigated.

The issue you reported has been assessed and the necessary work will be included in our programme of upcoming maintenance.
Our priority is to be effective at responding to the most serious problems so at this time we are unable to provide an exact timescale.
In the meantime until these works can be undertaken, we will continue to undertake routine inspections, whereby notifiable issues are recorded and scheduled for action.

Referring to my partner's series of emails re the above, we received a response dated 31.1.25. stating that action was 'scheduled'. That is a very ambiguous word when not associated with a date, and has not been clarified by now being advised on 8.4.25 that the matter is now 'open'. Unfortunately, since your January email, Spring has arrived and the tree is now fully in leaf. This means that it would be more susceptible to move in high winds and also will be much more difficult to shorten or fell than in Autumn or Winter. We are becoming very concerned on this matter. The inclination and height of this leaning tree indicates that if it was uprooted or severed due to high winds it would inevitably fall onto our cottage. Potentially the damage would be structurally very serious, and if it occurred during the night, could cause serious injury to the residents. I therefore would appreciate urgent attention to this matter and preferably information regarding a proposed date/s for action to be taken, Mr Russell Knapper.
