Tree damage after this bad weather
Hi neighbors,
I'm an arborist, (tree worker) and yesterday one of the Oak trees on my drive dropped a branch knocking out the phone lines. I was able to resolve this quite quickly, but it made me think..
After these winds I'd just like my neighbors to take a moment to look at your trees and check for 1. Dead branches 2. Cracked or broken branches 3. Splits or scars at the base of branches.
There's an old saying "A stitch in time saves nine"
If you see something that needs making safe, I'll look after you. Just give me a call... Simon 021 183 6037 and I'll pop round and fix it for you.
Take care and stay safe
Simon
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
