HEADED ITEM NO. 20
Tree Maintenance Programme 2016
REPLY:
In line with the Council's Tree Management Policy 2015-2020 "Living With Trees", the focus of the 2016 Tree Maintenance Programme will be on entire roads or whole estates. This represents a move away from reactive pruning of individual trees on a one off basis to a planned maintenance programme. The objective of this approach will increase the efficiency and productivity of the tree maintenance crews and advance a proactive programme of cyclical pruning targeting priority locations where intervention is most needed and where it will yield greatest community benefit.
In 2015, a tree management system was used to record over 6,000 tree inspections. Inspections involve an assessment of the tree’s health and condition, and identifies the maintenance required if any. This allows the Council to prioritise work in the most effective manner.
In addition to the planned whole estate and road programme, works considered necessary arising from inspections in response to tree maintenance requests will be noted and prioritised accordingly as part of this or future Tree Maintenance Programme. For example, c.150 individually located trees were identified in inspections to date as requiring removal or critical pruning works – this work will be scheduled as necessary.
