We’re terrified a 100ft tree will fall and crush our homes but council REFUSES to chop it down despite pleas for help LOCALS say they fear an "excessively tall" tree will soon fall and crush their homes - but the council has refused to take action.
Scared residents on Worcester's Columbia Drive worry that the "menace" 100ft silver birch tree blocks sunlight, casting a gloomy shadow over their properties.
But Worcester City Council have refused - claiming that the tree poses no immediate risk and has issued a protection order for it.
"The roots are lifting up the ground in front of the house, we asked permission to fell the tree and replace it with a smaller one but the council said no.".
One of these days there will be a storm and these trees will definitely crash down onto someone's home.
