ROADS Service experts are being asked to inspect trees along of a stretch of road after one of them collapsed tonight.
Sinn Féin Councillor Colly Kelly, who was at the scene, said “I was contacted tonight by a number of residents concerned that a large tree had come down on the road between the Hatfield shopping complex and Cashlemore Park.
“I went to the scene straight away .This was a very dangerous situation as its one of the busiest roads in the city on what was a dark and very wet night.
“Thanks must go to Roads Service for their quick response and a number of local residents who helped direct traffic whilst efforts were made to get the tree off the road.
“I will be following this up with Roads Service to make sure that an urgent inspection of other trees along this section of road is carried out and take whatever action is needed to make them safe.”
