I think people are right to hold the council to account but let’s have a sense of proportion please.
Both sides in this controversy have made some good arguments in these pages, and the Star has provided a good forum for democratic debate on the issue.

You don’t hear much about that issue now that it is done.
We have lost some trees in our road, but the replacements are doing fine. I’m perfectly happy with that and so are thousands of others. Let the debate continue.
