QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

To ask the Chief Executive if Council can carry out an audit of the condition of mature trees within estates where recent storms brought down trees that appeared to have been suffering from deterioration prior to their felling.

REPLY:

Following emergency works carried out as a result of recent storms, Council Tree crews re-visit affected areas to ensure that damaged trees pose no further threats.  If any concerns are identified, the trees are then listed for attention as soon as is required.

Otherwise, the Council are actively surveying and monitoring the tree stock and should any issues arise, actions are taken to resolve them accordingly.
