They also taped on a sign that read: “This tree is protected by a court order.” “We laminated the court order to the trees and the workers took off like scolded cats,” Mr Wayman said. He said the trees, which were supposed to be removed as part of the Northern Corridor upgrade, were still there yesterday. Treetech was contracted to remove the trees by the city council. It would not comment on the matter. Mr Wayman said it was not Treetech’s fault as it was only doing the work of the city council and the New Zealand Transport Agency, which he would lodge formal complaints to. He said the work was in breach of the order from last December, which includes judge-approved designs for the stretch of road along Cranford St between Mc- Faddens Rd and the rural zone. In October Nor’West News reported businesses including the nursery, The Cranford Ale House and PlaceMakers are unhappy the city council has proposed Northern Corridor designs that do not match that ruling. “I think we’ve caused enough fuss for them to take us seriously,” he said. The design includes cycle lanes that take away all on-street parking, which Mr Wayman said would put them out of business. “The judge made the designs very clear . . . and we’re not asking ORDER: This Environment Court ruling put Northern Corridor work on hold when it was taped to trees on Cranford St by Small World Preschool and Nursery owner Sue Wayman. PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS for any more than what the judge is ruling,” Mr Wayman said. The city council is expected to release its final designs for the Northern Corridor this week. The city council did not respond to questions from Nor’West News.
