MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

"That the trees in Tymon Park that are overhanging the back gardens of a number of houses on Osprey Park be investigated for maintenance.  As well as needing to be cut back, some of the trees are a significant risk for falling over and need to be removed."

REPORT:

"The Birch trees in Tymon Park at the Osprey entrance, growing along the rear boundaries of the back gardens of houses on Osprey Park were surveyed in Summer 2015.  Arising from the survey, tree maintenance was carried out on the trees which primarily involved removing lower limbs and any branches overhanging gardens. The trees at the rear of the cul de sac were also examined and trees were removed and pruned in this area.

This area was inspected on 5th October and no further tree maintenance work is required at present. It is proposed to monitor the trees in Tymon Park which grow along the boundaries of houses and gardens on a 3 year basis. Work will be carried out as deemed necessary."
