MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Cathaoirleach’s Business

Can the council arrange to plant a tree outside (Address Provided) following a request from the resident during a recent visit? Additionally, can the resident at this location be informed in advance of any planned planting?

REPORT:

The driveways on both sides of the grass verge at the location in question have been widened in the past and as a result the grass verge has been reduced in length.  A tree was growing in the grass verge before the work took place but is no longer present.  An assessment of the remaining grass verge will be carried out to determine if it is big enough to accommodate a tree and if there are any underground services present. 

If it is feasible to plant a tree it will be listed for consideration in the tree planting programme.  Due to the large number of trees that are planted during the tree planting season it is not possible to contact individuals.  The details of the tree planting programme will be presented to the Elected Members prior to works taking place.
