Minutes:
The Sub-Committee received a presentation on trees and foliage overhanging the highway.
The most frequent complaints received about public trees were surrounding epicormics growth, footway and property damage and fruit fall. Where works were carried out in default, the Council recovers expenses through the County Court. Although the law requires the Council to advise recipients of the potential consequences of non-compliant, the Council’s approach was to engage, educate, encourage and enforce.
Members noted the contents of the presentation and thanked officers for their time.
