Catherine West raises the tree issue in parliament

Debate in Parliament

Catherine West, M.P. for Hornsey and Wood Green,  secured a Parliamentary adjournment debate on protecting our urban trees which you can watch online here .  She has seen in Haringey the impact of the lopsided balance of power between councils and insurers, with tree roots only needing to be implicated in property damage or subsidence for the tree owner to be liable.

Letter to the Secretary of state

Following on from the adjournment debate on 10^th May, Catherine West has written to the secretary of state along with Haringey’s Cllr Mike Hakata.

SHIFT is very grateful indeed for her support.
