Contribution

This sounds like a heartbreaking and frustrating situation for my hon. Friend’s constituents, and we wish Sam well. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is updating the local authority tree and woodland strategy toolkit for 2026. The updated toolkit will include more detailed advice on health and safety and on liability, which will help councils to strengthen their approach. I will make sure that the relevant Minister hears my hon. Friend’s contribution today and provides him with an update on our plans.
