But, in the letter he says the Bradford Pears may not be the best tree to plant.
He wrote a letter on behalf of some of the bottom block businesses and said in the letter that the Bradford Pear trees are very fast growing but their limbs break easily and they need continual pruning.
He suggested in his letter that the trees near the Hospital.
Zelkova Serrata [Japanese Elm] would be a much more suited tree for that position.
He said, “any tree is more suitable than no tree.”
Mr Murphy said he had spoken to Jason Della, Andrew Lindner, Bob Campbell and Ross Lyon, who all agree. He is asking for four more trees to be planted either side of the road.
Council will hold this request over for the streetscape consultant.
