ITEM NO. 57
New Tree Planting in Rush
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive to outline the tree planting programme for new trees
to replace the mature trees that were cut down in the Town of Rush in recent
weeks?”
Reply:
We have already planted a number of replacement trees in some of the estates
effected this year and we have been in discussion with a number of other
residents associations on locations that they would like planted. The rule of
replanting is always to replace in exact location if possible. If it’s not possible a
suitable nearby location is selected. The tree strategy does not permit replanting
within 7m of a light standard.
