You must apply to the local authority for a permit if you want to erect a memorial plaque, tree or bench to honour a person, group of people or significant event.
Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, advertise job vacancies, shortlist candidates, carry out assessments and hold interviews to appoint successful candidates.
Local authorities may plant, prune and fell tree in public parks, open green spaces, along roadsides, on roundabouts and in authorised housing estates to protect and maintain them.
