Emergency Tree Work

Hello Forum

I am interested to know if LA Tree Managers/Officers are expected to
inform local councillors of tree work in response to an emergency
situation.  I do not mean planned work, purely work to control an
immediate and unacceptable risk to public safety. 

If you do inform councillors in these situations, are you expected to
do this in events as per a few weeks ago during the storm?

I am currently trying to establish a 'no consultation required'
approach for emergency situations as currently managers are asking me to
inform members in all situations.  I think that this is reasonable in a
planned work programme on contentious trees but in an emergency
situation I think it is unreasonable on the basis that our time should
be focused on sorting out the hazard and ensuring Officers are doing
everything they can to prevent any incidents or being done for
manslaughter!!

Your comments and opinions are appreciated.

Thanks
