Question by Mr I Chittenden to the Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways & Waste
"In recent years hundreds of trees on County Council land, in particular on verges and green areas adjacent to roads and footpaths have been cut down, with very few replaced. Many become diseased and die due to grass cutting around the base of trees with strimming tools which cut and removed the bark from the main trunks, resulting in disease and a slow death.
"As the Cabinet Member responsible for the grass verge contracts will the Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Waste inform this Council when this destructive practice will stop and what action he will take to replace the trees removed from our tree lined roads due to this negligence? Please include in your response details of how many trees have been cut down over the past 5 years and how many have been replaced?"
