REPLANTING OF TREES
Phil Thomas writes:
The Council have over the last few years been removing some trees and re-
However as usual the budgets are tight and for this year's winter programme (2009/10) not all of our roads have had trees replaced. Some residents have made us aware of some streets where trees are missing and we have reported these to the Council and they maybe replanted next winter. One location suggested, is Eskdale Gardens from the bend at Ingleboro Drive up to the Common entrance.
However because of health and safety concerns, the Council are a little selective as to where they replant. They will not plant new trees near street lights or telegraph poles/cables, illuminated traffic signs, near to driveway crossovers, buildings, known drains or underground cables and pipes etc. It would be interesting to know if there are any trees missing in your street and whether a tree can be replanted where one has previously been removed.
We would like to hear from you and for the location and this can be done either by leaving a reply here on the message board, or advising one of the RRA Committee members or direct to the Forestry Section at the Council.
