QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor C. McCann

 "To ask the Chief Executive with regard to Tree pruning, what estates in the Tallaght Central ward have been serviced?"

REPLY:

"The Council's 3-year Tree Maintenance Programme 2017-2019 was presented at the March meeting of the Tallaght Area Committee this year.  In line with the Council's Tree Management Policy 2015-2020 "Living With Trees", the focus of the current and future Tree Maintenance Programmes is on entire roads or whole estates.  The programme for 2017 includes a small number of estates and roads carried over from the 2016 Tree Maintenance Programme.

Tree surveys have been carried out and a subsequent programme of tree pruning and removal works has been identified on all trees requiring works at the following estates:  Kingswood Drive, Sylvan Avenue and Walnut Close. These locations are being prioritised for completion.

Tree surveys have also been carried out to inform the planned programme of tree maintenance works at the following estates: Ashfield, Bancroft Park and Avenue, Forest estate and Parkwood.

At Glenview Park, along the boundary of the estate with the N81, over 60 poplar trees were removed in two stages during June and October.

A full report on the 2017 Tree Maintenance Programme will be presented at each of the December meetings of the Area Committees."
