Report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture
Decision:
1) That the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee note the response to the Notice of Motion.
Minutes:
52.1 The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture that responded to the request to receive a report on tree planting arising from a Notice of Motion considered on 21 September 2021.
52.2 In response to a question from Councillor Fowler, the Head of Operations- Cityparks confirmed that there were sufficient officers to deliver the funding currently available.
52.3 In reply to questions from Councillor Nemeth the Head of Operations- Cityparks clarified that some funding was for a specific type of tree planting and had to follow the terms set out and the cost of tree planting varied according to the job in question, and it was not possible to provide a general, indicative fee. The recent cases of Ash dieback meant that the council’s Tree Strategy was now out of date and may be re-written.
52.4 RESOLVED-
1) That the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee note the response to the Notice of Motion.
