When is a fire hazzard not a fire hazzard?



Seemingly if it's in Enniscorthy! Some months ago a training exercise by the Enniscorthy fire brigade found that a tree - pictured here - blocked their access to the rear entrance of St.Mary's CBS. At the time it was highlighted in the local newspapers but today (27/4/09) the tree remains in place. It is not a thing of any great beauty and its absence would not be noticed by most people but what on earth on the local authorities waiting for, as five minutes work with a chainsaw would see the matter rectified?




Near the tree is a pedestrian crossing for school children and one of the warning lights is obscured by branches of the same row of trees. Talk about a lacksidasical attitude to safety!
UPDATE: September 2009 - the tree has finally been felled - hurrah!
