A civic group has raised concerns about tree pruning practices. The organisation supports removing hazardous branches, especially before storms, to ensure public safety. However, it has questioned the removal of large quantities of healthy branches, which significantly reduces tree canopies.

The group has submitted a representation to the municipal corporation, urging a review of the ongoing work. They are seeking an independent audit of pruning undertaken over the past three months.

Further details about the issue and the group's representation are available from the source publication, which reported on the matter.
