WHAT a ludicrous situation regarding the branch that crashed from the tree in Oldbury Road as reported in the Evening News of Monday, August 14.

If another branch crashed down and injures, or at the worst kills someone, who will be held responsible?

Surely not Mr Davidson, who wishes to remove the tree, but the council for refusing him permission to do so?

Please city council put safety first, and forget the preservation order in this instance.
