We hope everyone is staying safe in this weather. If you spot a dangerous fallen tree in Leeds, please see contact details below.

⚠️ Fallen Trees: Please Only Report Emergencies

Our contact centre and forestry teams are currently dealing with a high volume of calls and are working hard to respond to incidents across the city.

🌳 In the current adverse weather, please call 0113 376 0499 if a tree has fallen and:

✅ poses an immediate danger to life

✅ is blocking a road

If the fallen tree does not present an immediate risk to safety or is not obstructing a road, please allow our teams time to prioritise urgent incidents first.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we respond to the current demand. Our crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to deal with reports and keep the highway network safe.
