COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"That the Chief Executive prunes the trees at *address supplied*. This was requested over 5 years ago.  It is blocking the view of the resident's car which is adapted for his disability.  It was broken into twice in the last month."

REPORT:

The tree at this location was pruned to raise the crown in February 2015.  Arising from further inspection of the trees within this cul-de-sac, the tree is now listed for removal on the current 2016 Tree Maintenance Programme due to its close proximity to the adjacent lamp standard.  This work will be carried out over the coming months as part of the ongoing tree maintenance programme.  Where a tree is removed from a roadside verge, due to proximity to a public lighting column, a replacement tree will not be planted back into the same verge.
