Living with trees

We do not prune or remove council owned trees to stop or reduce fallen fruit, berries, nuts or seeds. 

All trees shed parts at various time of the year so we ask residents to be understanding that it is a normal part of the tree life cycle.

Fallen berries, seeds and fruit are also a valuable food source for wildlife.

We are not obliged to remove anything that may have fallen from council owned trees. This is the landowner's responsbility.

If fallen fruit leads to a significant anti-social problem the police should be contacted.

To report a road, street or highway that needs to be cleaned, please see Street Cleaning.
