That the Council treat the trees in public parks that border estates differently in the next review of the Living with Trees policy.  Trees in parks are planted with no restrictions on size.  While large and exotic trees can enhance a public park, the planting of such trees has a negative impact on the residential houses that they border and overlook.  Residents located next to parks with large trees often live in constant shade and fear that that their property could be damaged in high winds.
