Tree opposite Holly Grove House, Hassall Rd, Alsager. ST7 2SL and adjacent to public footpath
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6184059.
This tree was checked 2/3 months ago when 2 other were felled as they were dead. We saw this weekend that the branch pictured and measuring approx 5 meters has fallen off. It was initially blocking the footpath/crossing area where the steel gate/barriers are but we've dragged it out of the way now to where it is pictured. The tree is opposite a primary school (Pikemere) and lots of children and parents use this path to get to school from the new housing development. I am very concerned that further branches will fall. Very lucky that the huge branch that fell didn't fall on a person or passing road user or else its likely there would be either a fatality or serious injury.

We have assessed the issue and it needs to be inspected by a qualified arborist. The time it will take to carry out the inspection will depend on the priorities of the arborist. We will update your report once we have more information.
