Letter to the Editor: The danger of large trees

Letter to the Editor: The danger of large trees

PORT Stephens Council has and still is performing above expectations in current economic and climate circumstances.

It will take some time to fix major issues like roads but with the professional management team and dedicated staff the future looks bright.

I would like Councillors and management to consider the danger of large trees in residential areas. These trees were planted many years ago and have never been pruned but are a dangerous threat to both residents and their neighbours which will eventually cause litigation to council if death or damage to property occurs.

Regards,
Gerry MOHAN,
