A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) regarding proposed tree work in Woodbank Park, St. Thomas’ Park and Nangreave Road in order to alleviate shading and encroachment problems.

RESOLVED – (1) That approval be given the following works :-

·         Woodbank Park – felling of trees to the rear of Bideford Road and Park Lane at an approximate cost of £5,500

·         St. Thomas’ Park – felling of trees to the rear of 45 George Street West at an approximate cost of £800

·         Nangreave Road – pruning of trees (mainly plane), at the A6 end, at an approximate cost of £5,000.

(2) That the above works be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Manor Ward allocation) and that the £200 shortfall in the available budget be met by a short-term appropriation of £200 from the Brinnington & Central ward allocation, to be reimbursed in April 2015.
