Suspect Fireblight in Finnish Whitebeam

I suspect Fireblight in Finnish Whitebeam which is in a neighbors garden on private (not Council) land.

Does this need reporting to the Council? Thanks.

 

Here is a picture: The leaves are falling off early and much of the berries are shriveled.

 

I would say it's a natural fall at the moment looking at the rest of the leaves, with the lack of rain/dry summer trees are shedding their leaves early. Keep and eye on the thicker branches and trunk for any disease, weeping or black wounds etc.

 

Here is a closer look at the fruit, not all this bad on the tree. I remember the orange berries being bright orange and plump. I think we have had reasonable rain this year in West Yorkshire. However, disease not proven maybe.

 

Hmmmm, it could be fireblight. Take a look at this thread, it may help.
