Response details:

Dear Cllr Stephanos Ioannou,

Many thanks for getting in touch regarding the trees on Houndsden Road. This street was last inspected and appropriate works ordered in 2022, and in keeping with our 6-year pruning cycle, are next due to be inspected and pruned during the financial year 2028/2029. However, I have raised this with our tree officer for inspection, to see if earlier works are appropriate.

Please be aware that we are currently severely understaffed, with only one officer to carry out all inspections and work orders in the borough, which may cause delays. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Kind regards,
