In relation to ash dieback, roadside ash is referenced in the report, although it was somewhat outside its scope. The main focus was on plantation ash but I agree that roadside ash is an important issue. It is probably cross-departmental in nature, rather than just an issue for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, where the ash dieback scheme for plantations lies. I have had conversations with Ministers from other Departments on this. I have flagged it with them because it is going to be an issue-----
