The department is severely under funded after the last 3 years of cuts (described as Council Tax savings). I don't blame the staff, they are doing their best with what they have and morale is low.
160 trees need to felled in Haworth Park alone (Baxenden) because despite warnings, no monies have been put aside to manage our tree stock. Proper funding and management would have allowed for intervention of diseased stock earlier. In the 7 years of this Council no monies have ben alloated and no survey has ever taken place. Funding tree maintenance though means less dog bins emptied. Yet we can spend £5,000 (I am informed) on the viaduct roundabout to 'create the right impresion'.
