AIBU to worry councils are not cutting back roadside trees?

[ZML]

I know it’s the summer but I’m worried about the autumn and beyond.

Due to the heavy rain we had in the winter and spring, the trees along the roads have grown a lot with large leaves on them.

These trees are covering up signs, traffic lights and streetlights.

If councils (visited a few towns and cities recently) don’t cut back trees soon. Then if we have a stormy and wet autumn, there will be flooding in many places as drains can’t cope with the leaves, people being killed or injured as unable to see the traffic lights etc or be hit by a falling branch

None of the trees on my way to work are covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
Councils need to know that prevention is cheaper than fixing

Councils are not interested when I try to contact them

YANBU however nothing will change.

80% of the pavement between my home and my children’s school is inaccessible due to overgrowth. Road signs are completely covered and the river is invisible until you fall in (That’s how I learnt where it is)

They cut it back late April and it has since gone mad. They’ll cut it again late August just like every year.
I've given up complaining.
If it bothers you so much, go out with hedge trimmers at 2am.

ObviouSly this will vary area by area, but they have been out all over the place around here, cutting grass verges and other general maintenance.

Obviously some trees and hedges don’t get cut h til the autumn because of birds nesting, of the type of tree or hedge.

It's not legal to cut trees in the bird nesting season

Councils are not interested when I try to contact them

What does that mean? Do they really say nah, not interested?

This. Trees cannot be cut until autumn unless they are clearly dangerous. Having 'large leaves' isnot classed as dangerous. I'd hazard a guess that the leaves are the same size every year.

Birds are still nesting so trees shouldn't be cut back. It's early summer, plants put on growth. They can be cut back in late July or August. Much better to have leaves than a concrete environment devoid of greenery.
