Trees we own
Our team of tree specialists work alongside our partner Krinkels to manage trees in our green spaces.
To report a problem with a council owned tree, contact Krinkels:
Telephone: 01483 982224
We work to make sure trees are:
- safe for the public
- healthy
- managed within the law
Trees on private land
Trees on private land are the responsibility of the landowner. They should be maintained so that they do not cause harm or risk to anyone.
Landowners are responsible for:
- submitting an application of the proposed works
- carrying out the work (if approved)
- paying for the work
If you refuse to make a dangerous tree safe we may carry out the works and charge for work afterwards.
If a tree on your land is protected
We can provide free impartial advice if your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
