OSCOTT TREE CAMPAIGN UPDATE

2 further petitions from residents calling for better tree pruning and more FOR large trees to be replaced by smaller varieties, have now been presented by myself to the Birmingham City Council.
The petitions were from residents in Goodway Road, Harleston Road and Marshall Grove.

It is clear from my discussions with Oscott residents that no one is opposed to tree lined road but many of the trees in the Oscott area are just to old and large.

I am continuing

to call with a sensible program of replacement of large old trees with smaller more suitable varies which will grow steadily over the years.

Councillor Tristan Chatfield is now helping to organise a meeting in October (to be Chaired by Councillor Barbara Dring) where the powers that be will be available to discuss further the issues resident face with regards to over large trees.
