How decisions are made and who represents you
Crawley Borough Council has a current stock of
approximately 272,500 trees, 30,000 of which are within residential
areas or high footfall parks, and is responsible for auditing,
cataloguing, planting, inspecting and maintaining them. This work
is managed by three specialist officers (one temporary) within the
Council’s Neighbourhood Services division.
This is required to ensure management arrangements for
Arboricultural Services are in place after the expiry of the
current contract in April 2022. The recommended approach aims to
provide a balance between financial sustainability and supporting
the Council’s Budget Strategy whilst ensuring a high quality
service which continues to support the wider needs of residents and
businesses.
Value will be in excess of £500K over the contract term (5
years)
