I have a tree with purple flowers which is taking over my garden, the more you trim it back the bigger it grows. I would like to know how to get rid of it permanent

I live in Bradford, and the tree was here when I moved in.
It has been sawn off to the base of the tree but its now grown bigger, as I am a widow and disabled I want to get rid of it as I can't manage to keep trimming it back.thanks

Sounds as if it could be Syringa vulgaris (Common Lilac) Do the flowers look like this http://www.about-garden.com/images_data/3680-syringa-vulgaris-sensation-lilac.jpg
It has a habit of suckering and just cutting it back will not stop it growing - you'll need to get the roots removed.
