Town of Swampscott PLUS

This tree is dead. The landscapers stripped bark all around the base using weed whips.

On Saturday night a car took out our town tree - snapped its trunk about four feet up and ripped half the roots out of the ground. The fire department cut it up enough to get it off the sidewalk and put it on the grass between the sidewalk and the street. It was a fairly large tree and the stump will need to also probably be removed. Can the DPW wood chip the tree and remove the stump, or do we have to find a service to clear it? Thank you.

There is a large (5-6" diameter) tree branch high up in the tree, broken off and caught by another branch in front of our house (25 Sheridan Road). See attached pic. Looks heavy! Could fall any time onto the sidewalk, possibly hurt somebody. Please remove!

Reporting a tree in front of 5 Lawrence Rd which just in the past week has had 3 limbs fall onto sidewalks and now on a car. I have reported this tree SEVERAL times just in the past 3 years to which NOTHING has been done to remediate safety. This request comes after a TOWN tree has caused damage to a neighbor’s vehicle. The same tree which had a limb fall onto sidewalks one of MY vehicles last year and again no one has performed any action. I am asking for the SAFETY of my neighbors and my family to PLEASE do SOMETHING besides submit a “wOrK oRdeR” and have the tree taken care of. Additionally, considering I have made MULTIPLE requests to address the dangers of the tree(s) on my street, I have submitted all requests from the last 3 years to my insurance company which will provide justification for subrogation and pursuing the town of liability should further damage be caused to my property.

Adding to original request to add updated photo. Town tree has heaved the sidewalk making it nearly impassable.

Dangling severed branch in a tree on the corner of Hardy & Monument.

extremely overgrown tree, branches hang dangerously low for people walking and for cars parking on the street, branches grew over power lines. Please remove the tree or at least cut it down significantly.

Although this matter was previously reported in April 2023, it appears no action has been taken. All along Lewis Rd. with attention to outside 15 & 27 Lewis Rd. there are numerous trees where the limbs have grown entangled with the power lines and need to be trimmed. Some of those trees do a lot of swaying on windy days. If this issue can be addressed and not just acknowledged that would be great. Thank you.

Trees need to be trimmed. They are blocking the light on Paradise by Whole Foods/Vinnin Liquors. It's hard to see the traffic light.
