Newbold Comyn tree maintenance work
It’s that time year where routine inspections of the trees in our woodland areas are being carried out to ensure that we continue to preserve and enhance the long-term health of the much-loved woodlands across the district.
Warwick District Council contractors have inspected the trees across Newbold Comyn as part of this maintenance schedule and identified some that require essential work, including a combination of tree removal and pruning. Those trees have been sprayed to ensure they are identifiable.
Tree maintenance work is undertaken between September to March when the trees are out of leaf, and the bird nesting season is avoided. This timeframe allows the contractors to take advantage of the ground conditions, rather than disrupting the ground, leaving it muddy and uneven for regular park users. Signs have been placed onsite to highlight where the work is taking place.
Councillor Will Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhoods, said:
“We have received a few enquiries about the work taking place on Newbold Comyn. I want to reassure our park users that we are only carrying out work which is necessary to protect the long-term health of the woodland and ensure that the healthy trees will continue to provide a habitat for wildlife. I would like to thank park users for their patience and understanding while this work is being carried out.”
The council is aware that some trees have been sprayed in a different colour. This is currently being investigated as vandalism.
