Last month I had a walkabout with the city council tree officer in Podsmead.

We looked at a number of trees, some of which had had some work carried out on them already, such as the trees by the athletics changing rooms by the Poplar Close entrance to the running track.

We also identified some work to be done elsewhere. Some trees have now been removed at Redwood Close after our walk and some contact from a resident, and there is a need for some pruning at the back of Chaucer Close to allow the residents more light.

I have been in touch with Gloucester City Homes over the pruning and the moss on the roofs at Chaucer Close. I hope that we can organise a walkabout with GCH officers soon.

If you have an issue in your area of Podsmead that you want me to take a look at, please let me know.
