We have a tree that is very close to a set of four electricity cables.
Will the electricity network cut the tree back or do we have to pay to
get it done professionally?

thanks

Every time I had a problem with electricity cables and telephone cables
going through some very high leylandii (which I wasn't allowed to
remove) the relevant companies cut them back for me at no cost, but
then again the cables were running right through the trees.


You would think that power companies would have more sense than to run wires
above tall trees.
