Issue with neighbours tree, also damaging my property

If you have home insurance with legal cover (or legal cover from elsewhere, union membership sometimes offers it) I'd use it to remind your neighbour of their responsibility under the Occupiers Liability Act.

That's the next step if current one gets nowhere.  I've invited her to accept the help of our councils mediation service to sort it out - they say its the sort of thing they do on a regular basis.  Whether she agrees to it or not we'll see, but she's got until this time next week now to say whether she will or not.  They have said that part of talks would be to clarify her legal responsibility and what could happen if no agreement is made through mediation
