How Current Tree Works Decisions are to be Made

Richard Taylor made this Freedom of Information request to Cambridge City Council

The request was successful.

From: Richard Taylor

28 April 2009

Could you please release details of the process to be used for
making decisions on following proposed tree works :

1. Proposed felling and planting at: Midsummer Common, Jesus Green
and New Square. These proposals are described in the agenda for the
West / Central Area Committee to be held on Thursday 30 April 2009.

2. Proposed felling of trees at Vicar's Brook. These proposals are
outlined in a notice at the site.

Specifically:

Is it within the power of the West/Central Area committee on the
30th of April to actually make the decision to go-ahead with the
tree works on their agenda?

Will the new tree works protocol involving consultations, notices
on trees, notices on the council's website etc. be followed in
relation to these works?

Clearly it would be desirable if you could release this
information, if you hold it, before the meeting on the evening of
the 30th April.

Many thanks,

--
