Although it doesn't have much relevance to Marple This post has been moved to a new thread so that people can discuss it if they wish. It was "started" by Mrs O asking what had happened to Oliver Johnstone, a previous prospective Conservative candidate for one of the Marple Councillor positions, and then answering her own question.

Reply to self,Oliver Johnstone is the deputy leader of the Hazel Grove Cons'.Wow! What a long apprenticeship!
He has reported a tree on the pavement opposite Torkington Primary School to the Council that has caused the pavement to become broken, cracked and uneven. Oliver also highlighted that the position of the tree in relation to the properties adjacent to it created a serious road safety hazard, restricting vision for drivers pulling out onto Torkington Road.
Oliver said, “The pavement is so badly damaged that it becomes a health hazard for the mothers, young children and elderly who use this stretch of pavement every day. More to the point, its positioning presents us with issues regarding poor visibility for motorists. I have asked Stockport Council to remove this tree from its current position and resurface the pavement"
Where do you suggest the tree is repositioned after it's removal?In what way is it a Health hazard?
