Have you tried talking to them about the problem to see if you can come to a solution?

Re-post your question in the LAW SECTION of AB and see what the legal eagles have to say.

Best wishes.....Ron

yh i have but no joy, i'm on a council esate and their houses are private

[vivandorron]

Have you sought the Council's advice?

It sounds to me that the trees could be Leylandi, which have always been problematic to neighbours.

You can cut off any branches which overhang your boundary, but you must offer them back to your neighbour. It's an an old law that goes back to the day's when people required wood to fuel fires. (Some folk still do.) It's the tops of the trees which cause a real problem....Ron

Could you contact the council to see if they can approach the neighbours direct?
