Worcester Lib Dem Councillor, Sarah Murray was today effusive with praise for the Worcester City Council after a report she submitted on behalf of a local resident was resolved after only a handful of days.
Cllr Murray received the report of a dead Silver Birch tree on Wednesday evening (9th October). The tree which was on the edge of the Warndon Woods was located on land managed by the City Council.
As well as being an eyesore and a magnet for pests, the tree needed to be removed to protect the other trees around it from potential disease, as well as being a safety concern to the public users of the woods.
Cllr Murray reported the tree to the council on the Thursday morning (10th October) and was delighted to discover that by the Monday (14th Oct) the tree had been removed.
Cllr Murray said ‘Sometimes the only reports we get to hear concerning stories like this are when there is a delay or inaction on the Council’s part.
‘The Council obviously receives many reports from residents like this one on a regular basis and I think its only right to highlight just how effective and efficient the council has been especially in this case. Its reassuring to know that the Council will waste no time to rectify these situations when the needs arise.
‘As they say, credit where credit is due!’
Cllr Murray had previously commended both the City and Parish Council in Warndon Villages last week after they worked together to ensure the replacement of a four way rocker at a children’s play area in Caister Avenue.
