QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Manager for an update on the plans to deal with trees on St Joseph's Rd, Greenhills and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

A meeting was held with local residents in June 2012 in the local Community Centre to update residents on the options available to deal with the tree problems identified on St. Joseph’s Road.  This followed from a discussion and presentation to the Elected Members in November 2011.  At the meeting it was emphasised that any option required the expenditure of a significant portion of the available budget for the 2012 Arboricultural Works Programme in the area.  The Council representatives listened to the views of the residents and agreed to present an option that would go some way to dealing with the identified problems and the views of the residents on the matter.  It is proposed to present an option that is possible to achieve within the constraints of existing budgets to the residents in mid October. The Elected Members will be briefed on this option prior to the meeting.
