Department of Infrastructure<\/a>. <\/p> “The Department immediately liaised with the relevant landowners and other stakeholders, however, given the urgency of the work required, arrangements have now been made to remove 6 of the trees (stump retained) and carry out remedial work to 4 trees, to reduce the risk to the wider public.\u00a0 The condition of one further tree will be assessed onsite.”<\/p>
The Department said that they will continue to engage with landowners about a suitable management strategy to protect the additional 75 trees. Work is due to end on 24 November, though this will depend on weather conditions.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
