Default Councils pays back tree removers

G'day all,

Found this article in our main sunday paper in Sydney

Council couldn't contain itself | The Daily Telegraph

The council has fought back at the people who illegally chopped down 20 trees to improve their view.

They have placed two shipping containers there to punish those responsible. Aparently they will stay for up to three years.

Other councils have installed shade cloth in killed trees.

Good on 'em I reckon. I realisie it may be punishing the majority, but it definately sends a very clear message to all those contemplating "improving their view".

Cheers
