Planned health and safety tree works

Find out about our planned health and safety treeworks.

For medium and large-sized trees, it is normal for the tree felling and stump removal to be done in 2 stages. This is due to the differing equipment required.

Every year the council undertakes a cycle of routine health and safety inspections as part of the council's cyclical tree maintenance programme.

The trees are inspected using Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) techniques, a standard approach to tree risk assessment, involving the diagnosis of structural defects, the evaluation of their significance from visible signs and the application of arboricultural biomechanical knowledge.

A number of issues were raised regarding the health of a number of trees. As a result, the following essential arboricultural safety works have been instructed.

Works will take place between January-March 2024.
