Tree planting data

Dear Abdul Hai

Thank you for your email. The first part of your request is not clear. Can you please clarify what the first part should say please?

Are you asking where the Council has planted trees since the financial year 2020/21?

If I do not receive clarification from you within one month, I will assume you no longer require a response.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Tina
