Trees not on council land
We are not responsible for trees that are not on council land. If the tree is next to the road or pavement and not within the boundary of a private property, then it is likely that Lancashire County Council (LCC) are responsible. If you have any concerns or issues with trees next to the road or pavement then please report a tree issue to LCC .
We do have powers to carry out work to trees on private land under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act. These powers are only used in extreme circumstances where the tree poses an imminent danger to property or life. If you do notice a dangerous tree, then please report this to us.
