STILL NO FUNDING TO DEAL WITH DANGEROUS TREES IN COTLEIGH GROVE


There has been some movement since my previous post re this issue 21st March.

On Friday 3 April 2009, the Manager for the Land and Property section of the Housing Department visited the Cotleigh site along with other Officers. A review of the site was conducted and as a result it has been concluded that some work need to be done to prevent the retaining wall from further crumbling.
They are currently seeking quotes to lop and remove some of the trees (which is understood was planted by the previous owners of the Bacon factory?)
Then costings to repair the wall. These will be presented to the District Housing Manager, for her to seek funding from Senior Management
I have been informed however that currently no budget has been identified. Given this issue has been brought to the attention of the Housing department by my self and other for some years this is clearly not good enough.
