QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive, further to very effective works carried out in the Spring, to ensure the continued pruning and removal of undergrowth and shrubbery at Willsbrook Park during Winter 2017/Spring 2018 with a view to further improving visibility and public safety for park users, particularly close to junctions and secluded corners?"

REPLY:

Willsbrook Park is included on the 2017 Tree Maintenance Programme for implementation of a programme of work for trees categorised as priority 1 in a tree survey of the park. Works are scheduled to be carried out on approximately 30 mature trees within the park over the winter period. This work will involve removal of dead, dying or significantly damaged trees, pruning and removal of ivy growth as necessary. The pruning of vegetation close to junctions and secluded corners will be continued during the winter pruning period. Works will be of a similar nature to those carried out in recent years.
