I travel through O’Connell each week and you seem to want to save the trees at one end of the village but why are all the trees bing cut down on the Oberon side of the town and I see no one protesting about that and now you have lost many very big trees..

I have not been able to find any ‘official’ reason! But I suspect the RTA is widening the road there. The road from Bathurst to Oberon is ‘owned’ by the RTA.
