Connick’s work on supporting the production of the Brighton & Hove City Council draft Tree Strategy has ensured that the key challenges facing the Council around tree management, and the arboriculture service, have been identified and presented in a clear and concise format. Their role as consultants on this process has been invaluable, with a robust and frank approach, detailing the realities facing the service. We look forward to the publication of the document following a public consultation and completion of the finalised strategy.
