MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor T. Ridge

That a replacement tree be planted at 40 Moorfield Drive Clondalkin.

REPORT:

A Platanus sp (London Plane) was recently removed from the grass verge opposite 40 Moorfield Drive. While the stump is still present it is proposed to remove it shortly using a stump grinder. It may not be possible to replant a tree at this location due to the presence of utilities but this will be investigated further when the stump is being removed. In the event that it is possible to replant a tree, this will be listed for consideration as part of the next Arboricultural programme, subject to the availability of resources.
