QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"To ask the Chief Executive to assist with the following query: I have been asking for a number of years now to have two large trees removed from the side of my Home -( private address supplied). They hang over our back garden and completely shade the garden from sunshine all year round. This is so unfair and my husband has medical problems and is now unable to do anything with them. To make it even worse, when the sun gets to the front of the house it's completely blocked with a large tree to the side of our gate so very stressing on both of us."

REPLY:

Alpine Heights Estate is listed for a planned programme of tree maintenance in 2019.  In advance of maintenance works commencing, a full survey of all trees in the Estate is scheduled to be carried out to determine the extent of the requirements for works.  This survey will include the trees located at the address in question in Alpine Heights.  Arising from the survey, any works considered necessary will be carried out as part of the planned programme of tree maintenance in Alpine Heights during 2019.
