Default Damage to a tree

Our local council has a lot of trees with ivy growing on them
like this.
They have been notified about it, but they do nothing.

See picture on this link on Tinypic webpage.

Would ivy growing like this do any damage to a tree?



If its bothering you why not go and cut the ivy stems near the
ground?
Why wait for the council


I did just that last year on a couple of tree in council owned
land next to my garden. I was fed up with the ivy overshadowing
and spilling over into my garden.
