An Auckland Council decision to give contractors the all-clear to chop down 12 mānuka and kānuka trees shading Māngere s Tararata Stream has angered and bemused volunteers who planted the shrubs with council funding.
The contractors were removing trees to preparing the site for infrastructure construction as part of a Kainga Ora-led housing development in the area.
