We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s refusal to remove a tree from the verge outside Mrs Y’s home. There is not enough evidence of fault to warrant an investigation. We cannot decide if the Council is liable for damage to Mrs Y’s property. This is a matter for the Council’s insurer or the courts.
