The council's tree officers inspect and maintain trees on public land in Knowsley, including parks, woodlands, highways, and cemeteries.
They aim to ensure that the trees are healthy and contribute to a pleasant and healthy environment.
If you have a problem with a tree on public land, you can contact the council by email.
However, there are some issues that the council cannot help with, such as:
- Trees that are causing problems with TV reception or solar panels
- Trees that are blocking light
- Sap falling onto cars or property
- Trees that are touching or damaging overhead wires
- Tree roots that are making a pavement or road surface uneven*
- Overhanging trees, unless they are touching a property or are dangerous
Please note that the council receives a large volume of enquiries and will deal with them in order of priority and urgency.
