Leaning tree making light work of live pole

The eucalyptus tree that reader Andy Stodulka says is crushing a live light pole in Chapman.

FEARFUL of a major accident, reader Andy Stodulka has sent this photo of a eucalyptus tree leaning into a live light pole in Chapman. He has reported it five times to authorities.

He says that over the past six months the massive tree has progressively come to rest on the light pole on the corner of Howarth Place and Sidaway Street.
“I have reported this four times to Access Canberra and once to the SES. If I were a betting man, my guess is the tree will crush the pole before I see action,” he writes.
