Councillor Lewis Dagnall took over from Councillor Bryan Lodge two weeks ago as Sheffield council's new cabinet member for the environment.
So far, he's met officers from contractors Amey and he's been meeting with campaigners and seen trees they're eager to save.

A review is to look into how different agencies worked before and during a case which saw two teenagers found guilty of plotting a Columbine-style shooting at a school in Northallerton.
Image source, North Yorkshire PoliceA jury heard they were motivated by their "hero worship" of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who killed 13 people and themselves at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999.
The boys, who were 14 at the time, were found guilty last week of conspiracy to murder.
Petrol and a bag of screws were found in an abandoned shack used as a hideout by the older boy and both had downloaded a bomb-making manual from the internet.

West Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner says not enough's being done to cut the number of women offenders who go on to commit new crimes.
Image source, Neil Theasby/GeographMark Burns-Williamson says nearly 70% of women with criminal convictions re-offend, with over a half re-convicted within a year.
New Hall Women's prison in Wakefield (pictured) now holds more than 400 inmates - over 100 more than the national average.
Mr Burns-Williamson says he thinks there's "a crisis in the criminal justice system" and believes there's a "real need to look at ways of reducing re-offending".
He's calling for "mini-prisons" to become the norm for women to allow offenders to stay closer to home - a factor which is known to aid rehabilitation.
A neck collar designed to ease pain and make everyday tasks easier for patients living with motor neurone disease has been designed by experts in Sheffield.
The disease causes muscle wasting, eventually leaving people with the condition unable to support their head.
The Head-Up collar, which uses material developed by Nasa, is the first of its kind and helps with communicating and eating.
It's thought the support, which is now available to NHS trusts across the UK, could transform the lives of 5,000 motor neurone disease patients in the UK.
It's been brought to market as a result of a five-year project involving the city's two universities and Sheffield teaching hospital.
