    You also have to keep in mind that if you trim the branches they could scratch you or your car.
    Left alone apart from a light tidy they won't.

    Not sure how they affect your broadband/telephone. That should either come down a phone line or underground fibre.
    TV depends where the aerial is and what receiver it's connecting to. You can adjust your TV to receive a signal to another receiver in a more friendly direction.
    The power line if likely to be affected by the trees could be a problem but you should contact the supplier to say so. They should come and inspect if it's their property. Ditto the telephone line. BT should be informed..........in my case I decided not to because of the hassle. Would have gone down the 'how should I know' route if anything happened.

    But you really should talk to the neighbour first. Them finding people poking around and perhaps telling them to lop off some of their trees would be a nasty surprise if they weren't aware.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
