QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

"To ask the Manager to investigate ways to support the Residents of Houses (Details Supplied) who are suffering huge expense and environmental health issues from constant sewage pipes bursting as a result of cracked pipes from the roots of Trees with a view to the roots of these trees being removed and the pipes repaired. This reason has been proven by CCTV investigations also paid for by the Residents and can the Manager make a Statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

The Public Realm Section has no knowledge of this issue, it has also been raised with the Drainage Maintenance Section of the Council and they have no knowledge of it either.  If more information can be provided on the matter, including a copy of the camera survey of the sewer, then this will be examined and considered by the Council and an appropriate course of action can be identified.
