Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities have trees and woodland strategies.

The Department does not routinely collect information on the employment or qualifications of local authority tree officers; which local authorities have tree or woodland strategies; or which local authorities have their Tree Preservation Order data available for review online

The decision on whether to make this information available is for individual local planning authorities.
