To make a payment of £1500 in lieu of
the planting of a tree as recommended by the Ombudsman in a revised
decision.
The Ombudsman originally recommended that the
Council purchase and plant a tree. This proved to be very difficult
and so the complainant went back to the Ombudsman. In consequence
the Ombudsman asked the Council to accept a revised recommendation
to pay £1500 to cover the cost of the tree, its planting and
time and trouble.
To reject the revised recommendation. This was
rejected as the only alternative was to keep trying to organise the
planting of the tree and this had actively pursued without
success.
