'The drain top is just inside the property, but the trees belong to the council the roots of the trees are trees which are outside on the road'
I take the drain top to be the manhole ??????? so where do the roots enter the drains ? before or after your boundary ?
Tree roots head for water, for the roots to enter the drain the drain must have been leaking even if just a minor leak.
If it's on your property, it's your responsibility. Your house insurance will cover it.
