Dear Bristol

I have attached a photo of trees behind our house (we live in 23 Priory Court Rd Westbury on Trym. BS9 4DB) and the trees are in council land behind our house in Albert Place next to a car park.

The stone wall in the picture is council owned and I'm worried about the size of the trees, overhand and roots on the integrity of the wall and the cars in the car park next to them.

I'm writing on behalf of a group of neighbours on both Priory Court Road and Albert Place to ask if I am able to meet with you on site to discuss possible solutions.

We'd hugely appreciate your input into the safety of the trees, possible solutions including the local residents funding their removal and replacement with something more size appropriate to the area? I know the council is very cash strapped at the moment and local contributions could possibly be an option?

Many thanks for your consideration. Louise 07967 998107
