[Back to trees home]
Sometimes it's difficult to know who you should contact if you have a query about trees. It all depends on where the tree is. Here is a brief summary:
Trees in pavements
Trees in pavements are owned by Warwickshire County Council Highways. In the urban areas of the district (ie within Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, Warwick or Whitnash) Warwick District Council manages these trees on the county's behalf.
If the problem you are reporting is disruption to the footpath surface by tree roots, contact County Council Highways on 01926 412515. Otherwise
- for trees in the urban area, contact Warwick District Council on 01926 456226
- for street trees outside the urban area, contact County Council Highways on 01926 412515.
Trees blocking pavements
- For all complaints about trees from private areas overhanging and blocking pavements, contact Warwickshire County Council Highways on 01926 412515
Trees in your garden
- If you are a Warwick District council tenant and have a problem with a tree in your garden in the first instance you should contact your local housing officer or call 01926 456434. Usually, pruning trees in your garden is your responsibility. You may find it helpful to read through our advice on choosing a tree surgeon
- If you need to check if a tree in you garden is protected, we have more information on protected trees here.
