This report is to advise the Conservators of the progress of Ash Dieback works to trees that are affected by the disease which have taken place to date, the programme of works that will be undertaken going forwards, and to note the increased costs associated with tree works.

The Conservators received a report advising on the progress of Ash Dieback works to trees that are affected by the disease which have taken place to date, the programme of works that will be undertaken going forwards, and asking the Conservators to note the increased costs associated with tree works.

Following consideration, the Conservators unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note the progress of Ash Dieback works to trees affected by the disease which have taken place to date, and the programme of works that will be undertaken.

(2)      Note that an 82% increase in the annual tree maintenance budget, from £7,300 to £13,300 has been factored into the Conservators’ indicative 2024/25 budget setting for consideration to fund the programme of works.
