QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

"To ask the Manager to replace the tarmac in the driveway of No3 Bawnlea Green as it has been so badly damaged by the Tree that was recently removed by the Council on safety grounds that it is causing a serious safety issue. This matter was agreed verbally when it was discussed as a motion in 2009?".

REPLY:

Following an inspection in late 2009 the tree at the above location was removed but the roots were left.  The Senior Clerk of Works has re-examined this location and has now recommended that the roots be removed and that the driveway be levelled and reinstated.  Quotations are currently being sought for this work but it is envisaged that this work will not be carried out until the weather becomes milder.
