1.    PROPOSED BY COUNCILLOR HILTON

“This council notes the threat to fell a prominent conifer tree on the corner of St Mary’s Street along Gouda Way.

This council knows it is admired by many residents who live in the surrounding area and has stood proudly near to the Cathedral for over half a century.

This council calls on the leader to withdraw the threat to fell this tree and the neighbouring conifer tree as they form an important part of the natural landscape in this part of the city of Gloucester.”
