    The tree clear-up team have just been around my way for a second more detailed clean-up.

    Unfathomably they have a nice BRAND NEW (days old) new shiny lorry with a grab but no shredder.

    So much effort to pick bits of twigs up and haul them to the waterfront for storage when they could shred them and use them as mulch on public nearby gardens.

    we live near the golf course on Fan Kam Rd
    It is still a warzone of chopped down trees pushed to the side of the road (and left there)

    We walked up route twisk to the country park on Sunday. Previously a walk that was 90percent on pavement (or equivalent) and about 70 percent shaded. Now it's about 70 percent on pavement and about 10 percent shaded! Heaps of trees dumped at the side of the road. One garage we passed had had its corregated iron roof vent backwards like a tin can opened. Must have been crazy up there.
