Residents are scared that an “excessively tall” tree will fall and crush their homes - but the council is refusing to cut it down. <br /><br />Neighbours said the 100ft silver birch tree is unsafe and branches are regularly coming down in high winds.<br /><br />Others brand it a “menace”, saying it blocks sunlight leaving their properties in permanent gloom.<br /><br />Worcester City Council insists the tree in Columbia Drive poses no immediate risk and has issued a protection order for it.
