Minister says DEFA can't manage it alone
Tree disease on the Isle of Man is proving a ‘major challenge’ for the Government.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says it can’t manage ash dieback and Dutch elm disease alone.
Earlier this month an arboriculturalist claimed a lack of management was putting motorists at risk and called for a strategy to manage thousands of unhealthy trees lining the Island’s roads.
This week, Tynwald approved DEFA’s 2022 department plan which makes up part of the Island Plan.
Minister Clare Barber has confirmed her department is working with the Department of Infrastructure and says safety has to be the priority:
RPU will be 'out in force' to stop drink and drug drivers
Ramsey Commissioners to spend more than £8k on deckchairs and storage unit
How to spot the signs of domestic and elder abuse this Christmas
Police appeal to parents after party of up to 50 young people 'becomes an issue'
