> Wishing to report a silver Birch Tree that adds no value whatsoever to the street.(it’s pretty ugly).It’s consistently dropping annoying branches and the sap it releases I often find on my vehicle . We have just had notification that the street paving is being uplifted and replaced w/c 28 Jan and as you can see from pics the roots are uplifting the pavement.My request is that it be removed and replaced ,or not replaced at all as the timing could not be better . Thankyou in advance. Alan .
