Sinn Féin councillor Tierna Cunningham has welcomed assurances from Belfast City Council that pruning work being carried in Knutsford and Cardigan Drives will not affect the condition of mature trees in the area.
“Residents had contacted me with concerns about tree pruning work going on in Cardigan,” said Tierna Cunningham.
“The Council has assured me however that work on the trees is remedial and that they will quickly return to their natural state after pruning.
“Many of the trees being worked on are mature and were planted during the 19th Century and they have become a real feature in this area.
“Local people are very aware of the advantages the trees bring to the environment as well as making their area stand out.
“Belfast has tripled the number of trees being managed by the city over the last 25 years and I support plans to continue to plant new and semi mature trees in other parts of the city including several more locations in North Belfast.”
