Hi, when can I cut back my Fig Tree, all the fruit has gone now, I didnt get to many, the bees and the birds had a megga feast. The leaves are so heavy, the branches are being pulled down over a public walkway and disturbing the neigbours.

Trim off the bare minimum now if you really need to - hard prune in midwinter, when the plant is dormant.
