Request for tree removal

Residents have asked Gosford Council to remove urgently a damaged tree in Ryans Rd, Umina.

A petition with 10 signatures received by Gosford Council stated that the tree was infested with termites.

The petitioners said they feared walking under the tree because of falling branches.

Petitioners further stated that damage had been caused to the roof of a nearby house, with adjacent properties also affected.

Council had approved the removal of the tree and reprioritised the works.

However, the petitioners said they felt the situation was dangerous for people walking under the tree.
