Council to prevent potential damage to their homes. According to one resident, Dianne Tappin, the appeal is related to a tall rotting tree which is currently leaning on a house.
“There is a serious issue of the large rotted branches falling and piercing the roof and causing damage especially during high winds and rainy season,” said Tappin. She said, “There are multiple holes in the tree which need the branches attached to be cut off to avoid further damage.”
The branches of the tree, she said, have also come into contact on numerous occasions with nearby electrical wires resulting in some sparking. Tappin noted that residents are very fearful that the situation could become worse if left unattended.
According to her, since the tree species is so large residents are literally unable to do anything to address the situation they are faced with. Tappin said that since early last year multiple letters were sent to the City Council requesting assistance to maintain the tree. To date there has been no response, she claimed.
“This is hazardous and need the attention of the Council, urgently, since it directly affects the very lives of persons living in its proximity.”
