The saddest thing about this fiasco ....There is deep division in our community which is already struggling with civil & respectful interaction..... In the end it is all over the word "RISK" Australians are now living with it and it has changed the way we live. We are a nation which has proven we can sustain any eventuality.... we can weather any storm..... but through the effective marketing of insurers.. who have found the golden goose.... we live in fear....Reform Compo laws Now !

Fact 51: Damn trees still haven't fallen down!
Fact: 52: Anti-fig sooks still sleep on plastic bedsheets.
Fact 53: More ratepayer dollars hosed up the wall than anyone cares to count - and that's before they start lopping them down - what will the bill for that be? No change out of $1.0M, you can be sure.
Hopeless. As usual. And now they reckon it will cost $15M+ to reopen the road after the Dore's rock fiasco? Dear God, how can these people live with themselves?

I only wish that people would protest this much over every decision the council made, it is such bollocks that this has been left to go on for so long.
Cut them or keep them..its not rocket science, make a decision and stick with it!

Council is hopeless and must go!

Good on you, Bob! These SOF protesters are feral. What they're trying to do to this city should be criminal.

Honk to Save the Avenue of Figs in Laman Street , Newcastleby ArtzyAudz346 views
We all love those fig trees, but it is a sad fact of life, they have to go....
everything in life evolves and changes and the streetscape of Newcastle or Laman
Street is no different. Lets plan for the future and create a place that we can enjoy and be safe, without wasting more money trying to fight the inevitable...

The development scheme for Laman street, whether the figs are dangerous or not, is a folly when compared to the effort of established Newcastle arts and community workers who've put Newcastle on the map ahead of other capital cities that have suffered from losing their connection to Australian culture.
This connection to culture is what makes Newcastle strong, and ignoring it will cost more than this redevelopment.
The community needs a council that'll work with it, not compete for the spotlight
