ffs council reserves are a death trap, lucky no one got killed

Stuff2026-06-25T22:22:09.000Z

too right mate, bunch of useless wankers

Stuff2026-06-25T22:24:09.000Z

bet they'll be quick to slap a water charge on us but won't trim a bloody tree

Jordan Bell2026-06-25T22:31:09.000Z

lol that's exactly what they do, raise our rates and do nothing

Mia Carter2026-06-25T22:45:09.000Z

that tree was massive, always looked dodgy in the wind. should've been chopped years ago

NZ Herald2026-06-25T22:58:09.000Z

typical Auckland Council, reactive not proactive. ratepayers' money down the drain as usual

NZ Herald2026-06-25T23:40:09.000Z

they'd rather spend on consultants than actual maintenance

Hayden Kelly2026-06-25T23:18:09.000Z

my cousin's house got hit by a branch last year, council said it was 'an act of god' - nah mate it's an act of negligence

Peyton Hall2026-06-26T00:09:09.000Z

lol cope, they'll probably blame climate change

Sophie Ngata2026-06-25T23:34:09.000Z

glad everyone's safe but this is a wake-up call for the council to inspect their trees more often

Mia Carter2026-06-25T23:59:09.000Z

yeah nah they don't care until someone dies, then it's all 'thoughts and prayers'

Peyton Hall2026-06-25T23:56:09.000Z

our community group has been asking about that tree for months, they just ignored us

Hayden Kelly2026-06-26T00:26:09.000Z

get stuffed, council won't even respond to requests

Tom Harris2026-06-26T00:16:09.000Z

that's in my neighbourhood, the whole street is full of old trees waiting to fall

Peyton Hall2026-06-26T00:27:09.000Z

council 'relieved' lol yeah bet they're relieved they don't have to pay a massive payout

Tom Harris2026-06-26T01:21:09.000Z

facts, they just cover their arses after the fact

Jamie Fox2026-06-26T00:39:09.000Z

so what now? they're gonna plant another tree that'll fall in 50 years? useless
