MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the Chief Executive arrange to cut back the hedging and put down rat poison along the Fonthill Rd at St Mark's Grove to combat the rodent problem in the area.

REPORT:

The hedge along the Fonthill Road at St Mark's Grove is included in the annual hedge cutting programme which runs from October to February each year. The hedge in question will be pruned before the end of February.

An examination of the hedgerow for the presence of rats will be carried out after pruning. If there is evidence of rats present pest control measures will be put in place to address this issue.
