A CROSSHILL pensioner has called on Fife Council to give the chop to massive trees at the back of her house.

Rosemary Campbell is petrified that the 40 feet structures could come down on the roof of her bungalow in St Ronan’s Gardens and has been asking for help for nearly five years.

“When there are high winds, it is a bit scary,” she told the Times. “It isn’t just twigs that come into my garden from them, it is some big branches. My concern is that one of these days, something will hit the top of the house.

“Maybe about two or three years ago, the council had come down from the other side from Benarty and took down lots of trees until it came to the last three houses and we were left.

“I think I have been to about four councillors over the last four years but nothing has been done. The council have had five years to sort it.”

Council workers eventually came out to Mrs Campbell several weeks ago however she is still waiting to hear if any action will be taken so she can rest easy without the fear of something coming through her roof.

She added: “Even just for them to be polite and come back and say if they are going to do something so I would know. When the wind gets up, you can see when they are ready to come off.

“They do limit my daylight as well but it is not that which I am most worried about, it is them coming onto my roof. It would be best if they weren’t there.”

Fife Council park manager Ian Laing said they were looking into the situation.

“We will assess the trees for safety and if necessary take action to ensure the trees do not represent a risk to the public or residents,” he said. “In consultation with Mrs Campbell, we will come to a consensus on what can and will be done.”
