QUESTION NO8
QUESTION: Councillor J. Lahart
To ask the Manager for an update on the County's Tree Surgery programmes as planned and as executed to date?
REPLY:
The Arboriculture Programme for 2012 was presented to the Area Committees in November / December 2011 following briefing sessions with the local Elected Members.
It was agreed with the Elected Members that the 2012 Arboriculture Programme would be prioritised, based on clearly identified criteria, and that it would be a programme that was achievable within the resources available to undertake it. The first part of the programme was carried out between December 2011 and March 2012. Progress reports on the programme were presented to the April / May Area Committees as set out below.
The 2013 Arboriculture programme is under consideration at present and is based on assessments undertaken during the year, representations from Elected Members as well as individual householders. The draft 2013 Arboriculture programme will be discussed with the Elected Members in October along with the works programme for the remainder of 2012 with a view to formal presentation to the November Area Committees.
