MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask the manager to please inspect and carry out appropriate works in relation to the trees in Boden Park as soon as possible, as the roots have caused the footpaths and roadway to lift and break in some areas, and some of the trees are of such a height, that the residents are concerned that if they come down that they will cause severe damage, as has happened previously.

REPORT:

 Tree maintenance took place in Boden Park estate in 2016. A tree survey was carried out and a tree maintenance programme based on the survey was undertaken in June 2016.

The area is not on the current programme however Boden Park will be listed for inspection in conjunction with the Roads engineer to establish the condition of the footpaths. The trees will also be resurveyed and any necessary work will be scheduled.
