QUESTION NO.14

QUESTION: Councillor Baby Pereppadan

"To ask the Chief Executive when the tree at 18 Corbally Avenue can be cut down. The tree is highly unstable and unsafe for the residents who are living nearby in fear. It could potentially fall into residential property at any time. It now sways vigorously on a windy day and its roots are no longer grounded firmly to the soil. I have been highlighting this issue over and over on the members-net platform over the last year and a half. Despite promising responses from the council(Members Rep ID: 1564657), the tree has still not been cut down. It would be great if the tree could be removed at the earliest. I have attached a photo of the tree from three months back as well"

REPLY:

 The tree at 18 Corbally Avenue has been inspected and has been listed for removal. This work is scheduled and will take place before the end of the year.
