SURVEY OF SUPPORTERS OF THE SAVE OUR FIGS CAMPAIGN
March 4, 2012
Thanks to Dr Patricia Gillard for this survey, reprinted from Coppice Communication. Dr Gillard will be standing as the number 1 candidate for Community 1 Independents in Ward 2 at the September Council elections. (more…)
I decided the time is ripe to remind ourselves of some of the low points of the Laman Street fig saga. Flashback time. (more…)
Anti-fig people use radar investigation as an example of NCC’s evidence to back up their risk claims so it’s timely to remind ourselves of what a great example of the scientific approach radar investigation has been in the hands of Newcastle City Council. (more…)
Last night Council gave the fig trees a reprieve when they voted on independent assessment of their risk. (more…)
Tents have been in Civic Park for over a week and I expect will stay there until the next Council discussion about Laman Street on Sept 13th.

Joanne McCarthy writes some great columns in the Herald but one this week tops them all for me.
I was so busy being alarmed by the permanent signs on Laman Street this weekend that I failed to notice the hinge in the middle of the signs. This nifty little number turns into a shiny silver sign with ‘Drop and Pick up only’ on the bottom. (more…)
This is a picture of the danger council saved us from after the Pasha Bulker storm in 2007. (more…)
