Last week’s email newsletter left out the link for this Streetscape consultation, so the item’s repeated here, with some new events below.
MORELAND STREETSCAPE: HAVE YOUR SAY ON TREES
Councillor Jo Connellan writes that Council has approved a draft Streetscape Strategy now out for consultation. Jo urges everyone to read and comment:
“Dot points in an email are as good as a more detailed submission” Jo suggests you send photos or address/street name of particular trees that you like or don’t like, and “any thoughts on current Council planting and maintenance practices”.
You have until 1 June to comment on this important plan – copies at the library and details are on the Council website:
