Barnfield: Tree causes footpath hazards for elderly residents

A complaint has been lodged with the Hyndburn Labour Councillors regarding a tree in the middle of a sheltered housing complex on Plantation Road.

Barnfield candidiate 2016 Jodie Travis said, "The tree on Plantation Road is causing the footpaths to become slippy in wet weather. It is also causing the tarmac footpath to lift and this is only going to get worse in time. It has been pruned unevenly in the past and is now out of shape."

Hyndburn Homes have been contacted and asked to effect remedial work on the tree.
