Laman Street Figs Part 3
Loading...
Uploaded by ArchitectGJA on Oct 26, 2011
Newcastle's iconic Laman Street figs have been slated for removal after being deemed, but not proven, unsafe. A redevelopment proposal for Laman Street has been revealed that coincidently would require removal of these trees. However these magnificent figs have stood through gale force winds and survived intact, and independent experts in arboriculture and risk management analysis have disagreed with the City's position that the trees are unsafe. Thus far, the City has chosen not to accept those opposing opinions and some in government have gone so far as to publicly criticize the fig supporters, calling them ratbags, loonies, and worse. This video is to honor the ratbags and loonies who have the courage and commitment to speak up against the worst vandalism imaginable on a rare natural treasure. With hope, their voices of reason will be heard.
