Low growing branches on street trees
by Ian Yuill on 19 August, 2016
I have asked council staff to remove low-growing branches from street tress across our area including Kaimhill Road, Pitmedden Terrace, Wellbrae Terrace, Beechhill Gardens, Braeside Terrace and Morningside Avenue.
These low growing branches can obstruct pavements and scratch passing cars.

what about cutting trees near my front door on countess wells road opposite sea field shops
Mr Munro, exactly which trees are you referring to? Can you e-mail me the details please at iyuill@aberdeencity.gov.uk
It has been dealt with well on Braeside Avenue where the top pruning was followed up to remove low growth.
It would be timeous to note that a number of treepits in the neighbourhood now have dead trees or are just empty.
A comprehensive replacement programme should be put in place at a suitable time. A simple survey would be a start.
I regularly highlight the issue of missing street trees to council staff.
When the council set its 2016/17 budget earlier this year my Liberal Democrat colleagues and I proposed additional investment in street tree replacement as part of our balanced budget proposal. Sadly this was not supported by the Labour, Conservative, SNP or Independent councillors.
I will continue to do whatever I can to persuade the council to invest more in replacing missing street trees.
Yes, Ian, many trees within the community need to be attended to by tree surgeons.
I am concerned about the height and low branches of trees within the grounds of flats that on the ground of what was Ruthrieston School – several branches in the past have had to be cut due to the possibility of falling on passing cars on Holburn Street – high winds cause concerns.
Thank you – Rosemary Paterson
As these trees are in the grounds of the flats they are privately owned and not the council’s responsibility. The council can act though if the trees are overhanging the pavement or road.
