QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to refer to past business raised by this and other Councillors in respect of Trees in the 30 acres which impact on houses in Bancroft Estate; will he outline actions being taken in respect of the matter and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

"An increased provision has been made for tree management and maintenance in the 2019 budget.  A review of the Council's Tree Management Strategy is being carried out at present and is nearing completion and in this review the issue of trees in open spaces and parks which are in close proximity to and in conflict with nearby housing has been identified as an issue requiring attention and action. It is proposed to arrange to deal with the trees in the 30 acres at Bancroft estate in 2019 as part of a programme of tree works to resolve such issues."
