Council Owned Trees

The request was successful.

Dear Waltham Forest Borough Council,

Please could you provide a data download of all of the trees which are currently owned / maintained by Waltham Forest Borough Council.

It would be helpful if you could include the following data:
* the co-ordinates for each data point, either in lat/long or Easting/Northing.
* all data fields held by the council for each tree, such as species, common name, height, condition, age and site / street (if applicable).

The preferred format would be either a GIS shapefile (zipped file containing .shp .dbf .shx & .prj files) or .xlsx / .csv

Yours faithfully,

Harry Carnegie
