Ailing poplar trees felled: Mt Roskill

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

A poplar on Mt Roskill's Somerset Rd is destined for the axe.

The tree is set to be removed this week due to deteriorating health.

Another poplar in the street was axed in April to remove the health and safety risk to pedestrians and students from a school nearby.

The tree is set to be removed this week due to deteriorating health.

Another poplar in the street was axed in April to remove the health and safety risk to pedestrians and students from a school nearby.

Puketapapa Local Board chair Julie Fairey said the board was active in supporting planting in the district and knew how much the community valued trees.

“Unfortunately, the state of these two trees on Somerset Rd means we have to remove them sooner than we had hoped.

"The removal will ensure the poplars are looked after as they come to the end of their natural lives and appropriate trees can grow in their space in the future for everyone in the community to enjoy and benefit from.”

Lost Pet-FOUND - Someone dropped him at a vet

Shernett from Ellerslie

Has anyone seen my handsome boy? He has been missing since 06/05/21 around 8pm. I search and call for him but nothing. He does sometimes go walk about, but loves his food so normally back by morning.

He is very friendly and will go up to just about anyone.

He is very friendly and will go up to just about anyone.

He is recovering from a surgery from about a month ago so his hair is still growing back on his left side.

Please see photos attached. He is microchip so do hope if someone found him they would return him to a vet.

My number is 0220 475 512 if you have seen him. We live in Ellerslie around Great South Road

Thanks

How to recycle broken glass

Learn what to do when recycling broken glass. Large chunks are ok, as long as they are from grocery packaging. Always remember when recycling if in doubt, leave it out.
