URGENT Huge Tree Fallen and Road Blocked RG8 9LT
Reported via desktop in the Report a tree problem category anonymously at 20:31, Tue 3 August 2021
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
A huge tree fell this evening and has completely blocked Gatehampton Road. The road is not passable by vehicle or on foot and residents (including me are now unable to leave home).
I have tried my best to clear it as the photos show but my chainsaw is now stuck and i cannot extract. The tree is really large and will need some proper equipment to move. The bank on which the tree sat had clearly collapsed.
Please could this be attended to first thing as people need to get to work, shops etc
I will call the emergency number tomorrow morning
Council ref: ENQ21902511

I rang the emergency number and they said they only deal with social issues. There is no number for OCC that I can find online. If we have an emergency we are stranded
