Tree Warden report

My name, for those who may not already know it, is Gill Salter aka 'The Tree Lady' Tree Warden for Wootton Bridge Parish Council. This is a voluntary position that I have held for about twelve years during which time I have acquired quite a bit of knowledge. The object of having a Tree Warden is to promote the preservation, health and welfare of trees and hedgerows within the Parish and to offer advice to you the public if you think you may have a problem with a tree. I have to emphasise though, that as a volunteer I have no statutory powers and can only offer advice or refer your problem to the relevant department.

I hold a surgery at the Wootton Bridge Parish Council Help and Information Centre on the first Thursday of every month, so if you have concerns do come and bring them to me and I may be able to help. Alternatively I can be contacted between 9.00a.m - 5.00p.m. on 882905 Mondays - Fridays. It might be possible to answer your problem there and then or an appointment can be made and I will visit you.

Regards Gill Salter
