Council staff have apologised for not pruning the street trees on Braeside Avenue by the end of August as they had planned. They have told me they now aim to carry out this work by the end of the year.

The Council’s Tree Team is currently focusing on removing dead and dying trees – there are over 350 of these across Aberdeen. It can take two days to remove one large dead tree.
