From Joyce Edmond Smith: Very pleased that my request for a scrutiny process
on street trees has
been agreed . Terms of reference not yet finalised by the Panel, but my
suggestion in my request was :
To clarify the situation with regard to street trees in Brighton & Hove
To identify the threats to street trees and problems .
To make recommendations for a policy framework with regard to the
future of street trees.
Any consideration of street trees must also consider the potential impact of
stopping the current Dutch Elm Disease Control Programme by the South Downs
Joint Committee which is strapped for cash. Officers have suggested that
cutting the programme might be an option but is one that would potentially have
huge ramifications for the elms in the city.
Regards,
Chris Todd
