Hello, is it possible to have the very large trees around my property cut back, reduced in height as they block all the light on to my house. I have reported this issue a number of times over the years and eventually somebody has come and pruned the trees, but the trees have now grown even bigger and thicker than before. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Kind Regards Ken Davies - 249 Downall Green Road, Bryn, Ashton in Makerfield
