Overgrown branches obstruct pathways, reduce visibility on roads and pose a danger of falling limbs. They block sunlight from homes, invite insects indoors and make the area look untidy. I therefore request you to depute personnel for regular pruning of these trees and shrubs. This step will improve the look of our neighbourhood and ensure the safety and convenience of residents and pedestrians. I hope for your prompt action.'
