Important information
We deal with problems with trees located in public areas such as on the highway, within parks or cemeteries. To check to see if we will be able to help with your report please see our tree management policy (opens in a new window).
Trees located on private land fall under the responsibility of the property owner and are not dealt with by the city council.
Some trees are subject to Tree Preservation Orders and you will need permission before felling or pruning. Details of which trees are protected are on our Tree Preservation Orders (opens in a new window) page.
