    We have a rotted tree in front of the house that needs to be taken out before it hits someone. Any time we have a storm pieces keep coming off of it.

    We have a number of large, old, dead looking trees between our house and our neighbors' which we believe are on a paper road. The last 3 times we have had storms with any wind, large branches have come down ripping power and cable lines off our house as well as smashing both of our cars. our neighbors had to replace their roof due to tree damage as well. Every time there is even a little wind we get decent sized branches in our yard. we would like to take the trees down and would like the town to assess due to the tree ordinance. Thank you.

    126 Stetson Avenue Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    More branches have fallen from the Norway Maple located at 126 Stetson Ave, Tree ID #2732 also known as subject #9 at the tree hearing held on 3/17/2021. This time nobody was injured but the vinyl siding on my house was damaged.
    At the hearing in March it was decided that the tree be heavily pruned and reevaluated. The pruning was never performed and to my knowledge the tree has not been reevaluated.
    I would like to request again that this tree be removed before someone is injured and or more property damage occurs.
    Also there are branches on the sidewalk that need to be picked up.
    Thanks

    Sadly, 2 of the 3 trees planted at New Ocean House Beach at Johnson Park are dead. Can they please be removed? The 3rd tree seems fine.
    Thank you!

    68 King Street Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott

    Corner of King and Highland - if turning up off Reddington, right onto King Street, tree on right side of street by STOP sign at the intersection of King & Highland needs trimming - the branches are growing into the street, blocking the STOP sign, creating a road hazard and potential site of an accident due to drivers NOT being able to see cars coming up King and other cars on Highland ignoring a Stop sign that they cannot see due to being blocked by amateur branches growing out the side of a mature tree.

    Corner of King & Highland
    Tree limbs blocking visibility to Stop sign at corner of Highland at King.

    For some reason town employees can't seem to back their trucks up without running through the field. Or remember to put the chain across the access road.
