The following has been brought to the editors attention.

About 2 years ago, a property owner at Clearview Road called a prof. tree remover to inspect a rubber tree next to his drive way. As everyone knows the worst neighbour you can have is a rubber tree. The property owner was worried about his bitumen drive way because there was a clear sgin that the roots are close to his drive way and a brick wall.

The roots have been trimmed back and the same happened with the tree. Some days later he received a NSC letter where he was thretened with legal action in case he would continue doing further damage to the tree.

Last week (2 years later) Council worker turned up and chopped down nearly the whole tree. And.....they poisoned the tree.

There is no need for further comment.
