Any advice appreciated?

There is a tree at the bottom of a council owned residential property that’s blighting a rental property I’m trying to sell.

It overhangs massively onto my side and restricts light and dumps loads of crap onto my garden and conservatory roof.

Every potential buyer has mentioned it and I lost a sale last week due to it.

I reported it to Dudley Council and they said they’d report it to their “Green Team” and it would be looked at but they couldn’t say when due to workload and lack of staff!

I can trim our side of the border but ludicrously ( I think ) I have to offer the tenant at the house the tree sits at the wood that I get cut off!

If any of you have any legal background or work for a local council could you advise me please?

It seems unfair that the council can blight my house, costing me time and money in reparations and lost buyers and yet not deal with the matter urgently?
