Tree Removal
Can you tell me how many trees the council has ordered to be removed in the last 10 years? And how many have been replanted in that period?
Can you specify how many trees were cut down because they faced insurance claims? Can you specify how many trees were cut down to allow the construction of housing developments? If providing stats going back 10 years is not possible can you provide stats for tree felling for the past 5 or 3 years?
Please see below stats for 6 years:
The figures are all for standard trees from 10/12 girth >
We have felled 423 trees
29 of these were insurance related
We have planted 1,094 trees
These are all related to Thurrock Operations by our Tree Contractors.
They do not include any road widening by Highways England or Planning Developments as we are not involved in those.
