We Asked, You Said, We Did
Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked
We sought views on the removal of a tree on Fosse Road South which has been linked to property damage. The tree needs to be removed due to the damage it is causing.
You said
There were two responses via the online consultation.
One respondent did not want the tree removed.
The second respondent had no objections to the tree being removed if the tree was replaced on a street nearby.
We did
We have reviewed the feedback and the decision has been made to remove the tree. The tree will be removed in October 2024.
As part of the tree strategy, for every significant tree lost, there needs to be more than one replacement. Therefore, two new trees will be replanted within the ward in appropriate locations selected by the Trees and Woodlands team.
We asked
We sought views on the proposal to remove a tree on Abbey Gate as part of the forthcoming improvement works.
The tree is located in the proposed work area which needs to be removed due to the proximity to the works meaning that it would be unlikely to survive if left in situ.
You said
One response was submitted to the online consultation, the responder was a Leicester resident.
The response referred to the proposed scheme in general rather than the felling of the tree.
We did
We reviewed this feedback and the decision has been made to remove the existing tree. The tree will be felled in October 2024.
As part of the tree strategy, for every tree lost, there needs to be two replacements. Therefore, two new trees will be planted close to the existing location with the species to be decided by the Trees and Woodlands team.
We asked
We sought views on the proposal to remove a tree on Narborough Road as part of ongoing improvement to the quality of the pavement in this area.
The object to make this section of pavement more pedestrian-friendly by removing uneven surfaces, due to tree roots damage, broken slabs, and to also tackle drainage problems caused by large tree roots.
You said
Six responses were submitted to the online consultation, all six responders were Leicester residents.
Out of the six responses, the following was captured:
Two preferred the tree to stay
Two made no comments or suggestions
Two made comments to replace it with street furniture and/or replacement tree
We did
We have reviewed the feedback and the decision has been made to remove the existing tree. The tree will be felled in September 2024. As part of the tree strategy, for every tree lost, there needs to be two replacements. Therefore, a small new leave lime tree will be replanted on the existing location, and another will be planted within the ward in an appropriate location selected by the tree and woodlands team.
We will also be placing additional street furniture either side of the new tree, such as bollards and cycle racks, as recommended on some of the feedback received to stop vehicles parking onto the pavement.
We feel by doing this the overall objective of the project will be achieved, by removing the drainage problems such as ponding and making the pavement user friend for all users, and in particularly the elderly and anyone with mobility issues.
