MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

"To ask Chief Executive  what locations are planned to be covered in the Tree Planting Season for this year."

REPLY:

The draft tree planting programme is being prepared and will be presented to the Area Committee in Autumn 2021. Potential sites for tree planting are being inspected to assess their suitability for new trees, considering factors such as services, sightlines, warning signs and traffic signals, and space for future growth. Areas targeted for new tree planting will be those where trees have been removed or where there is an identified need to increase the overall tree cover. Requests from Council members and local residents for new trees in their road or area will be taken into consideration within the planting programme.
