The Council has limited control over the maintenance of privately owned trees. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The limited legal powers that we do possess are explained here.<br \/>The Council\u2019s legal priority is to ensure that identified tree related risks are removed or reduced so that we can all safely enjoy the many benefits that a healthy and robust tree canopy cover brings to the Borough. This statutory obligation means that we require a system to ensure that we deal with higher priority tree risks within stated timescales. It allows us to maintain an efficient tree risk management system 24 hours a day for 365 days a year and manage budgets effectively. Tree issues that are low risk are not prioritised. The Environment team will work in collaboration with Housing Team and other internal stakeholders to deliver an arboriculture service.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-24x14.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees-48x27.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Council-Trees.jpg 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identification of Trees &#8211; please follow the link to the Parks Trust Website The Parks Trust has issued an excellent booklet showing the native species -worth taking a look through https:\/\/theparkstrust.com\/media\/8507\/the-parks-trusts-tree-id-guide.pdf Information about Tree Management &#8211; Please refer to Milton Keynes Council Website https:\/\/www.milton-keynes.gov.uk\/environment-parks-and-open-spaces\/landscape-maintenance\/trees Tree ownership and maintenance Protected trees\u00a0 How the council maintains trees [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/2023\/02\/07\/trees\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Trees<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9,14],"tags":[28,42],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3728"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3733,"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3728\/revisions\/3733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sherington-pc.gov.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
