Request
According to their meeting minutes Peterchurch Parish Council commissioned a tree surgeon to report on the condition of two ash trees on the PROW from the church to Hinton Farm. The minutes for the meeting on May 21st 2024 record that the written report would be forwarded to the Clerk within the next few days and in the June 18th minutes the report was ‘noted’.
1. I request a copy of the tree surgeon’s report referred to in the Council minutes of May 21st and June 18th 2024
In July 16 2024 the minutes noted three quotes would be requested for work to make the ash trees ‘safe’.
2. I request copies of all quotations submitted for making the ash trees ‘safe’ and copies of any minutes recorded (but not available on the website) that show subsequent discussion of the work to the ash trees in the months from July to November 2024.
In the December 17th 2024 minutes it was recorded that £3.600 was paid to Tidy Fellers for felling the ash trees.
3. I request copies of the accounts to show what monies were paid to Tidy Fellers in November or December 2024 and what the council received from the subsequent sale of the wood to offset this payment.
