Matters Arising:

Members noted that the visit to City Gardens has been postponed and would take place after the Committee meeting on 13 October 2014.

Members were also informed that a report would be submitted to the October Committee meeting regarding Senator House Garden EC4.

The Superintendent informed Members that a Member had raised a query regarding the number of trees included in the City’s Open Spaces Strategy. For clarification, the Superintendent explained that the previous strategy included 400  trees that were not in the Square Mile, but were maintained by the Corporation and situated in neighbouring local authorities Trinity Square Garden, Fortune Street Park and Bunhill Fields. The new strategy was more accurate reflection of the position and overall, the number of trees within the City had increased by 11% over the last 5 years.
