Councillor Snell advised he would submit his supplementary question in writing after the meeting.

D.           Question from Councillor Tom Wren

In response to a supplementary question, Cllr John Gardner advised that if the funding was available the Council would plant as many replacement trees as possible. Tree felling was only used as a last resort.

E.           Question from Councillor Andy McGuinness

In response to a supplementary question, the Leader of the Council advised that the provision of refreshments before Council meetings was a welfare issue particularly for those Members coming to meetings straight from work. This was an issue that had previously been reviewed by Scrutiny but could be looked at again if Members were of the view it would be helpful.
