Not only that, when you contact the council regarding your front wall leaning when it?s 4ft from a tree / the pavement is bulging upwards all around the tree / the kerbstones are pushed up out of alignment - they deny it?s the tree and ask for proof. You have to demolish your wall / dig out the footings / take pictures / get a surveyor to confirm. Then you get challenged, all when there?s a huge tree pushing up the fabric all around it when no other part of the pavement, walls, front gardens are affected alongside and down the street. Yeah - green London, how cool !! Why fell trees just because of insurance claims, just let the homeowner get in debt for 10s of ?1000s to shore up and underpin his house (or have a house he?s paying a mortgage on but can?t sell-on), right ? The trees are so pretty and green it?d be a shame to remove them !
