MOTION NO. 26

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Manager to give an update on the tree pruning programme. What estates will have tree pruning this year in the Lucan Electoral Area. Is the programme effected by the Covid-19 restrictions?

REPORT:

The Council's Tree Maintenance Programme 2020-2022 is available on the Council's website www.sdcc.ie and regular updates are provided. In advance of commencing a planned programme of works within a location, a detailed listing of the proposed works is made available for public view on the Tree Maintenance pages of the Council's website. In addition to the planned programme of estates contractors have been engaged to work on areas where there are dangerous trees, utility services and priority trees in one-off locations which need to be attended to but are not on the approved tree programme.

The current Covid restriction have impacted tree maintenance apart from essential i.e. emergency tree works. As soon as the restrictions are lifted, tree maintenance will resume.
