The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            On-Street Tree Planting. A Member enquired as to whether roads in the Borough lacking tree cover could be identified for tree planting where appropriate in order to provide shade for people in areas that experience intense heat. The matter was noted by the Environment and Sustainability Officer – he explained that in the case of on-street tree planting, Surrey Highways predominantly held the responsibility.
