MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That SDCC Identify a location in Newcastle to plant a Tree of Hope to remember those who have died by suicide and those that live with mental health issues."

REPORT:

A number of public / open space locations were examined in Newcastle to determine their suitability for planting a Tree of Hope but regrettably it has not been possible to identify a suitable location on such publicly owned space.

There may be scope to facilitate such an initiative on privately owned property, and should this be the case, any group wishing to further pursue this in the Newcastle area should make contact the relevant landowner.
