Highway / street tree felling consultations (Duty to Consult)

Overview

Highway and street trees occasionally need to be cut down (felled), this can be for several reasons.

The 兔子先生 will only consider removing the highway / street trees if there are no long-term engineering or tree management solutions available as an alternative to removing the tree.

Before removing a highway or street tree, we must hold a consultation to let residents know about the proposal to remove it. This is called Duty to Consult.

For information on what type of trees the Duty to Consult applies to, see Which trees are looked at.

The Duty to Consult on felling street / highways trees has been introduced to make sure local people can give their views on the proposed management of street / highway trees in their local area.

How to have your say

We will put a public notice on the tree and on these pages to let you know about the proposal and consultation.
