Fallen branch and another hanging vertical about to fall on my property
Reported via mobile in the Fallen tree or branches category anonymously at 09:47, Mon 14 July 2025
Sent to Gloucester City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7871992.
A large branch from the oak tree bordering my property has fallen from the tree in Taylors Grove Woodland (council owned) and broken my fence...currently resting there as too heavy for me to move.
From the same tree there is another large branch the size of at least 2 cars that has snapped but not full fallen yet and is vertical about to fall. If this falls it will land on my property so I would appreciated this is addressed immediately

Email of 12 7 25 1324 hours The pictured branch has fallen from the tree during the night and caused damaged to my new fence panel per the images This is a council owned woodland which is poorly managed which has led to the falling of this branch. I am unsure if it dye to poor health or damage from works done by the council to this woodland last week (removing dead trees from boundary line)
We will be moving the branch to the rear of our fence but would like the council to address the issue and rectify damages to our fence
So you are aware this is not the first time the woodland and this particular tree has damaged our property, you have previously been liable for a smashed car windscreen. I look forward to reviewing your response Thanks
