We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about maintenance of a tree near her home. The Council has told Ms X it is not responsible for the tree, as it is not on Council-owned land. If Ms X disputes this, the courts are better placed to resolve this matter. If Ms X considers the Council liable for damage to her property, this is better considered by the Council’s insurers or the courts.
