QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask for an update on St. Andrew's (The Fairways) and when last were the trees pruned in this estate and can it be added to the current programme in light of increased budgeting for this Council service

REPLY:

The trees in St Andrews estate were last pruned in October 2019 under the 2017 – 2019 Tree Maintenance Programme.  The estate can be listed for consideration for a future tree maintenance programme. The focus of the Tree Maintenance Programme is on entire roads or whole estates, increasing the efficiency and productivity of tree maintenance. This programme is ongoing with locations being prioritised accordingly.

The trees in the estate will be inspected prior to any works being carried out and the works will be based on the recommendations from the inspection.  In the meantime, a visual review of the trees in the estate will be carried out and any urgent tree works arising from this, will be attended to.
