QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ardagh

"To ask the Manager to landscape the green area (*details supplied) which is unsightly and in needs of attention?"

REPLY:

The small grass area in question is maintained by the Parks Department.  The grass is cut as part of a grass-cutting programme.  During the grass-cutting season it is cut as frequently as possible, which varies from 12 to 18 days depending on weather conditions, staff availability, machinery breakdown etc.  The poor weather this season has frequently resulted in the interval between cuts being extended. 

The location will be considered by the Parks Department for suitable tree planting as part of the 2008/09 Arboricultural Programme.
