The Germiston City News received a call from an elderly Elspark resident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am at my wits end; the metro pruned the trees in the area and left the branches on the pavement.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThat was a month ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He explained that each time they reported the matter to the metro residents were told that the pavements would be cleaned and the branches removed, but still nothing had been done.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIf the tree branches are left here any longer I will drag them into the street,\u201d the resident said.<\/p>\n

The GCN contacted the metro to find out why the branches and rubble had been left behind and when the pavement would be cleaned.<\/p>\n

Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro, responded: \u201cDuring an inspection of the street by metro officials, it was discovered that there are no longer branches or rubble lying on the pavements, although there was evidence of trees having been pruned a while ago, probably a month back.\u201d<\/p>\n
