We've looked into this report and are investigating the issue. We will update this report once we decide what action to take.
-
Other trees on Shakespeare and surrounding avenues have been recently been "pollarded" but no action taken re trees in question. Please advise
-
Tree works in programme.
-
Issue was raised nearly 2 years ago but no action has been taken. The trees are becoming very large. Please advise
-
I see you are now proposing to plant more trees in the Bear Flat area (https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/ street-trees-project-consultation/ view-proposals-map) and yet it appears you are unable to manage the trees that are already present. Trees need to be managed - and yet it appears you are incapable of undertaking this basic task. Until you can take responsiblity for the trees you plant, please don't plant any more.
-
Please provide feedback on the tree planting proposal at Bear Flat via the online consultation (https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/ street-trees-project). Responses will be reviewed once the consultation has closed, and feedback considered before the project proceeds.
-
Once again pollarding of "other trees" in Poets area has been undertaken but, once again, no action has been taken on trees in question. Trees need to be managed. Please provide update. When are you expecting to undertake pruning/ cutting back of species of trees that have to date been neglected?
-
This was raised over 3 years ago and yet it appears no action has been taken. Further, other reports of over-grown trees in the area have been made. The rees are your responsibility. Please provide an update
-
Thank you for your report. These trees have been inspected recently and works identified. These works are not safety critical so will be added to our non priority programme for this winter.
-
This issue was raised over four years ago. In that time other trees in the area have been pollarded multiple times and yet no management of these trees, or other large trees of this type in the area, has been undertaken. The trees are overhanging my property and curtailing light. If the issue persists post 1 December 2024 i will arrange for removal of overhanging branches myself
-
You do have the right to prune back the branches overhanging your property to the boundary. Conservation Area regulations apply as this location is within the conservation area of Bath so notification is required.
