FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL
BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING
[Services A – Operational Matters]
Thursday, 13th December 2018
ITEM NO. 11
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange a meeting with the Council Officials and
the Residents of Woodland Park, Rush in order to address the over growing of
the trees up onto the Public lights in the Park."
Reply:
The Operations Department scheduled works two years ago to remove street
trees beside light standards in Woodland Park Rush. At that time the residents of
the estate prevented this work from being carried out and it was decided to
allocate the crews to essential works in other estates. Since these works were
prevented approximately 20 trees were planted on the open spaces within the
estate. These newly planted trees are to replace what will be removed in the
future in line with our adopted tree strategy. It is our intention to return to
Woodland Park when residents are more supportive of the scheduled works.
