Dear Harrogate Borough Council,

Yours faithfully,
Ms Ashley Davis

Dear Ashley

 

In your email which was received by the Council on 17/6/2014, you asked
for the following information:

 

Could tell me the name of external companies that the council have used to
carry out tree pruning, removal of dead trees etc on behalf of the council
in each of the past 5 financial years to date; The nature of works each
company carried per year and the amount the council paid each company per
year; If any of these companies are located outside the UK; if so their
location eg; Dublin etc.

 

In response, please find below the information from Harrogate Borough
Council:

 

The table below contains company details of those who have been successful
at quotation stage to carry out tree works on behalf of the council within
the last 5 year period.  The council has its own in-house tree team to
undertake the works that we generate.  The companies listed below will
have been appointed to do works above and beyond what our in-house tree
team was able to achieve within a set time period.  Costs may have been
met through various budgetary codes or Commuted Sums and will not
necessarily have been funded via the Arboricultural budget.
