That tree

I wrote to the Council to complain about the large and intrusive tree on the nature strip, and received a reply to the effect that the tree was healthy and didn’t even need to be trimmed. But a neighbour took up the cause, and apparently emphasised that the tree was a traffic hazard (I’d mentioned this, but perhaps it got lost in the crowd).    So, within weeks, we received another letter stating that the tree would be removed. There was no acknowledgment that this flew in the face of the earlier letter, but so be it.

In due course, a couple of guys turned up with a chipper truck and cherry picker, and within a couple of hours, most of the foliage had gone. But at the time of writing, the trunk is still there.    Maybe another crew is need to remove this.
