Poll: Do you think these trees should have been felled?

Libby Totton Reporter from Taupō Times

A Taupō family battling the NZTA about removing trees overshadowing their property are selling the farm because they won’t live in a dangerous home.

In June, the Waikato Times visited the Blank family at their property on State Highway 5 near Wairakei after they said they were too frightened to live in their own home after trees smashed through its roof during Cyclone Gabrielle.

Do you think the trees should have been felled? Explain your reasons in the comments (add NFP if you don't want your thoughts used in print).
