Marked dangerous trees three years ago in East Gippsland roadsides pose risks need immediate action required to prevent accidents
Dangerous trees marked for removal three years ago pose a significant risk to drivers as they remain on roadsides. Urgent action is needed to address this issue and prevent accidents.
Dead and dangerous trees marked for removal over three years ago remain on our roadsides, causing a major risk to drivers. Gippsland East Nationals MP, Tim Bull, said the fact the department has been dragging its feet is concerning, given this month, on the Gelantipy Road, one of the trees marked for removal three years ago actually fell, narrowly missing school traffic.
Gippsland East Nationals MP, Tim Bull, says after three years it's time for the roadside trees that were marked for removal to be dealt with
Enhancing road safety
Mr Bull said, "These trees were marked by arborists for a reason - they are dangerous and there is no good reason they are still there after all this time. Before we have a serious accident, action needs to be taken to address this issue."
"It is not just the case at Gelantipy, but this situation exists on other roadsides around our electorate. I have asked the Minister to take a more hands on approach and ensure this work is done before the end of the year," he said.
