Petition leads to tree trimming

Gosford Council will trim a tree in Edward St, Woy Woy, after a petition was received from the local Member of Parliament on behalf of local residents seeking its removal.

As a result of the petition, council will remove any dead wood of a reasonable size, remove branches that are interfering with power lines and inspect and take action about the petitioners' footpath concerns.

The petition, which had 17 signatures, stated that the old tree had branches imposing on the footpath which caused much distress to the disabled, elderly on motorised scooters, mothers with prams and the vision impaired.

Petitioners requested that Council investigate the matters raised.
