QUESTION NO. 24

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the Tree Maintenance programme in this LAC year to date and to indicate to what extent it has been affected, if at all, by Covid-19.

REPLY:

The level 5 lockdown restrictions due to Covid 19 has impacted on the delivery of the 2021 Tree Maintenance programme. During this period essential maintenance work only was carried out - this included an emphasis on cleansing and essential maintenance work. Emergency tree work took place as well as the pruning of low branches on trees close to footpaths and cycleways.

Work has commenced on the tree maintenance programme and the quarterly report will be presented to the June meeting.
