Calling London tree surgeons and arborists!

Tree surgeons and arborists in London and the surrounding area are invited to attend our latest event on 13 November.

In recent months the London Borough planning authorities have been working with the Portal to improve the services they provide while reducing waste, costs and red tape.

The London Boroughs are now encouraging all applications for works to trees to be submitted online using the Portal. The event is being held to demonstrate the savings that can be made.

We’re especially encouraging those who currently submit on paper by post to attend – if you’re already submitting online you won’t get as much out of the day.

The event is free and sessions will include:

• How submitting tree applications online will save money and provide a competitive edge for you and your company
• A talk about the benefits one specialist tree company has realised through regularly submitting applications via the Portal
• A day in the life of a tree officer – offering an insight into a local authority tree officer’s working day

The event is taking place on Wednesday 13 November 2013. The venue is the Lord Mayor’s Reception Rooms, Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP.

There are two sessions. The first session starts at 10am (registration from 9.30am) and finishes at 12.30pm. The second session starts at 1.30pm (registration at 1.00pm) and finishes at 4pm.

Places are limited so we advise you to register ASAP .
