Decision:
The report of the Head of Contracts and Direct Services was submitted, presenting to Members the final draft of the Exeter Tree and Woodland Strategy and recommending the strategy for adoption.
Scrutiny Committee – Community considered the report at their meeting on 20 January 2009 and the support and comments of Members were noted.
Members endorsed the importance of trees in the city and welcomed the Strategy which aimed to provide a planned approach to their management, retention and enhancement. Whilst supportive of the volunteer tree warden scheme, members sought assurance that ward Councillors would still be kept informed. The Director Community and Environment assured Councillors of this and undertook to advise them of the contact details of the tree wardens once the scheme was operating.
Executive approved and adopted the Tree and Woodland Strategy.
