MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor C. King

That this Committee calls on the CEO to have the trees to the rear of the Council property (16 Homelawn Gardens - Details supplied) removed as a matter of urgency as they have outgrown the garden completely measuring much taller than the houses and causing structural damage to the adjoining property (17 Homelawn Gardens) which includes structural cracks in the wall, capping's have fallen off and a third of the gardens grass does not grow as it gets no sunlight from the more than ten trees that cover the adjoining garden.

REPORT:

Generally, the Council's Housing Maintenance section state that the upkeep of trees, hedges, gardens (front and rear) and boundary treatments in Council owned housing is the responsibility of the tenant.

The garden of the property will be examined to determine the extent of works required and any damage done to the adjoining boundary.
