Published 11 May 2022

Request

In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, I would be grateful if you could comply with the following request. Could you provide the following information: Figures for the number of trees felled by the council or its contractors in the Local Authority area for every business year from 2015-2016 until the present. Figures for the numbers of trees planted by the council for every business year from 2015-2016 until the present. I would like this data to be presented in an Excel or PDF spreadsheet with a new sheet for each year and a section on each point of information.

Response

A. Please see the attached spreadsheets. This includes trees which have been felled because they were dead or dying. From 22.06.2018, there were system coding changes so we have been able to provide information by month.

Please note data for tree planting is not held within the system, the data provided for tree planting in the last few years is from specific funding allocations.
