A neighbour has told of his frustration after a five-year battle with the city council over 'massive' trees that he says are in desperate need of pruning. Abdul Jabbar, a retired resident in Wollaton Road, Wollaton, says he has considered leaving the area altogether after 25 years because of the two large ash trees near his home.
Located on a public pathway and next to a bus stop on public land, Mr Jabbar claims the trees in question are more than 50 metres high. He said they are "dangerous", adding that branches have fallen on the pathway before.
Mr Jabbar said the trees present a particular problem during storms. But having reported the issue to the city council - the authority which is responsible for the trees - he says nothing has been done.
