MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor A. Edge

That the area of public realm adjacent to Allenton Lawns, Avenue and Drive along the R114 be cleared of rubbish and debris and properly maintained to improve the appearance of the area

REPORT:

Some unauthorized tree pruning was conducted within the estate where green waste and debris (branches etc) were left on site. The branches that arose from the unauthorized tree pruning have subsequently been removed by the Council. The estate undergoes regular litter picking and during the growing season litter picking is carried out before the grass is cut on a two-week cycle. Additional maintenance will be conducted in the estate to improve the area for residents and this will include additional litter picking and strimming where appropriate. The Council encourages residents who experience or witness illegal tree pruning, dumping and/or littering activities to report these to the Council.
