Angela Rayner has been accused of neglecting her constituency after she bought a seaside home 250 miles away.
Neighbours in the Greater Manchester town she represents say they no longer see Labour's Housing Secretary, who now owns an £800,000 flat on the South Coast and enjoys the use of a grace-and-favour apartment in Westminster.
James Lee, who lives next door to Ms Rayner in Ashton-under-Lyne, wants to catch her at home so he can ask her to do something about the 70ft tree that towers above his garden.
The 82-year-old said he has not spoken to the Deputy Prime Minister for as long as two years.
He told the Daily Mail she had assured him her beech, copper beech and apple trees had been checked and were 'safe' – but took no further action.
