Issue details
Green Space Enhancements – Residential Trees and Trees on Public Open Space, Towns Fund
The scheme will offer Hereford City based
residents and organisations the offer of a free trees to be planted
on their premises, within the City boundary.
Hereford City residents will be eligible for one tree per household
and City based organisations will be eligible for up to five
trees.
Applications for additional trees will be considered by exception
as priority will be given to maximise the number of scheme
beneficiaries and to increase tree canopy for public benefit.
The combined delivery of the Residential Tree and Trees on Public
Open Space elements of the Green Space Enhancement project enables
better value for money through single application process for both
residents and also reduces the scheme administration.
The scheme and tree species available will be promoted through a
dedicated webpage on the Council’s website which will include
on online application form with FP Matthews.
These tree species are being stored by and will be posted directly
to applicants by FP Matthews in order to mitigate the transmission
risk of Covd-19.
Advice and guidance on suitability, planting and tree care will be
provided to applicants by FP Matthews.
The procurement process was undertaken in line with the
Council’s contract procedure rules with support from the
Commercial Services Team.
