Thanks to my great friend from Islington who told me about the Troubles coming to Newcastle’s loveliest row of Moreton Bay figs.
She tells me that Newcastle City Council will start SEVERAL WEEKS of what they allege is removing dead wood from these trees.
As she said, we know where the dead wood is – and it ain’t on these trees.
Turn the sound down on the video below that I took of some of these trees – it was cold and windy and I’m a dilettante, not a film maker. (more…)
How weird is this flimsy fencing? Very un-Newcastle-City-Council. Beautiful tree, presumably committing the crime of standing at an angle. Over a seat.
And there are two items at the Public Voice committee at Council tomorrow -12.6.2012 -worth hearing – the King Edward Park developer trying to remove the path that was agreed to (!) and a multi-storey development in Islington.
And thanks to a friend for this trip down memory lane: a reminder of how constructive a contribution Cr Buman makes. Not.
