Sound advice indeed. Fortunately many head teachers know a great deal more
about tree risk assessment than sundry others.
Quoting David Lofthouse <David.Lofthouse@xxxxxxx.gov.uk>:
We had the appalling event of LMS taking tree management budgets from us
and
delivering them direct to schools, some years ago. It has taken until
this
year to retrieve the situation by top-slicing (LMS budgets) and bringing
the
situation back to sanity. Be ready for a long fight. Also keep your
schools
database up to scratch as you may find when you get responsibility back
you'll have a horrible backlog of wrong jobs done, right jobs not done,
to
sort out.

Dear Forum,
We're trying to squeeze our Education department to pay for tree advice
and
remedial work from their 'ring fenced' Education budget. I'd be very
interested to see how other local authorities (and particularly other
County
Council's) deal with their school trees, and how their advice and the
work
is financed?
Thanks
