I've got a very large Silver Birch tree just outside my boundary. It's
on
a
council owned verge, overhangs my property, and the sap makes a hell of
the
mess of my car when parked on the driveway, it's a bloody nuisance!. Do
you
think as if I asked the council they would be obliged to remove it and
plant
something else more appropiate?

P.S. I'm a private householder.

First, make sure you get the correct branch of the Council when you
contact
them. There's no point barking up the wrong tree. You may have to root
around for the person responsible, unless, of course, they have turned
over
a new leaf. Let's hope they twig what you are saying.

If they do nothing ask for a root & branch enquiry & don't beat about the
bush.
