Information shared with the reporter by the property owner suggested the tree was to be removed by an arborist, via the Waipa District Council. The Hall St property owners were happy for this work to be done by the council, as reported in the story. However it was only one section of the tree which was removed, or "pruned" (see picture). The story has been updated to reflect accurate information provided by the council and the Edition apologises for the error.

Morning neighbours,

Phil Evan's anti-cat tactics are proving to be a divisive topic with people voicing strong opinions on both sides of the debate.

Evans has taken to trapping cats in his backyard, soaking them then shooting them off his property with a hose jet so they don't return.

What's your take on other people's cats roaming through backyards? Is Evans justified in protecting his property? And do you think something needs to be done at council level to address the issue?

NOTE: Please refrain from personal attacks in comments - play the ball and not the man. Also put NFP in your comment if you do not want it to be reported in the Times.
