Tree-felling

Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under freedom of information legislation, I am seeking the following information:

The number of trees chopped down in your area between June 30, 2019 and January 2014.

I require this information broken down by years and how many had preservation orders on them or were classed as exceptional due to age, size of historical significance.

Also during the same period how many trees have been planted - again broken down by years.

I would be grateful if you could provide answers via email. Please contact me with any queries.

I look forward to receiving your response within 20 working days.

Many thanks,
