QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he would respond positively to the concerns of residents in Alpine Rise who have requested action in respect of a number of matters including the following (1)Trees in the estate which residents believe are completely over sized and darken the whole street  (2) the condition of the large plot of Land facing out at the traffic lights on Cookstown Way which is badly overgrown and in need of attention and long term development and (3) attention to the area along the boundary wall with Cookstown Road?"

REPLY:

"(1).  Alpine Rise is listed in the 2017 Tree Maintenance Programme for 'whole estate' tree maintenance.  In advance of any works being carried out a full survey of all trees in the estate will be carried out to inform the scheduling of tree pruning and removal works.

(2).  The area in question is not public open space and therefore it is not cut on the Public Realm Section's fortnightly grass cutting schedule.  However the area will be cut on a once-off basis in the coming weeks.

(3).  The trees in this area will be included in the tree survey which is mentioned at item 1 above."
