> Hi there We've just recently moved into this property few months ago. By having a park next door supposed to be an icing on the cake for my wee girls. But I soon realized the big silver beech trees is creating a lot of problem for our house gutter (especially the stand alone garage gutter with a silver beech tree right beside it) and we had to paid to get professionals to come out and clean the gutter few weeks ago when heavy rain happened, rain water can not drain due to the blockage of the gutter with all the organic stuff from the silver beech. Not to mention we constantly had to get on the roof to remove the broken brunches when ever it is windy ( so it's not going to fall into the gutter). The gutter cleaner said our gutter is very clean with no mud or yuckie things at all, but just full of the organic things and dry tree steams from the silver beech trees. Also these big trees is over shadowing the most important room of our house ( kids bedroom) where it was suppose to be sunny and bright! With shadows over the room, girls is constantly having skin issues where scribed cream had to be applied everyday to stop the skin irritation that is appearing on both girls! Our GP mentions these reaction might due to the dampness of the house as well as many other causes, also it might be linked to allergic reaction towards Silver beech trees. That was supposed be the most sunny room of the house for the girls ( the master bedroom). I am working towards the dampness by having dehumidifier. I was wondering if any action can be taken to reduce the problems for me (a single mum to be)?!? It's hard enough that I had to maintain this property, full-time job , mortgage and care of two girls. Hope to bring a brighter and happier future for my girls as I go through divorce stage. Also other bushie tree is crushing over the fence and it's making a rubbing and squeaky noise. Just thought I give council a try when our doctor mentioned that I could make a contact with the council for these sort of things. Thank you so much and Happy New Year!!!
