BAYSWATER city council (whose motto is ‘The Garden City’) is moving to cut down another tree. Staff have recommended the chainsaw for a four-metre jacaranda on Peninsula Road after a resident complained it blocked light from a street lamp and damaged unspecified “civil infrastructure”. It won’t be replaced. The axing follows Coode Street trees getting the snip after sustaining collar rot, and the removal of an arson-damaged historic tree at Halliday Park.
