There are already answers concerning damage from a neighbour's tree.
My question relates to damage from the roots of a council tree (on the road verge). They are within inches of my foundations.
Council say they do not own the tree, it merely grows on land under their control.
I am not sure the question of tree ownership is relevant. If the land in under their control, are they liable under the tort of public nuisance?
Many thanks
