what the service is doing to protect its internationally renowned National Elm collection from Elm disease
Stormy weather over the last few years led to us prioritising hazardous trees and other issues. This has had a knock-on effect of reducing the number of street trees pruned. This has also delayed pre-scheduled and proactive work by about a year.
Brighton & Hove has an estimated collection of 12,000 street trees which receive health and safety inspections every 3 to 4 years. We check for Elm disease and dead trees annually and act quickly to help prevent Elm beetle infestations and infections.
Highway trees are subject to statutory work which requires the removal of obstructions such as the clearance of basal growths and low branches. This allows for the free passage of pedestrians and vehicles.
