Anyone got a chainsaw?
Yep - got two!
And a license

Advice - phone the council and ask to speak to their Tree Officer

Explain the problem to him / her and ask what they are going to do about it.

In Autumn you need to scarify, rake and feed.
How close are these to your house foundations? You can guess where I'm going with this?
Take it from there.....
