Milnshaw: Shrubbery issues at Lupin Close

Several residents of Lupin Close, Accrington, have made contact over the last few weeks with their local Milnshaw Labour Ward Councillor to try and help resolve a issue with several shrubs and trees within Milnshaw Gardens. These problems have been on going for a a couple of years and if not addressed could possibly lead to damage to residents fences. 

Milnshaw Labour Councillor, Paul Cox, said, "I was contacted about this matter originally from residents who had a couple of bushes growing through their fences, I was then approached by a couple more residents who had a few concerns with two trees in the grounds of Milnshaw Gardens. I contacted Accent Homes and our own Council tree Officer about these issues to try to see if we could work together to solve some of the problems. Last week a site visit identified the problems, with a compromise solution being agreed by all parties which will lead to the shrubs being cut back and some small pruning work to the trees."

Cllr Cox added, "Accent Homes and there grounds Mantance team have been fantastic and have offered to cut back the shrubs which have caused residents concerns. There are also working closely with our Tree officer to identify what works can be undertaken on the trees. This will be really good news to the resident s of Lupin Close who originally brought this to my attention."
