ERA To Issue Fine After Pietà Roadworks Cause Damage To Pine Tree
The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) have ordered the removal of a Pietà pine tree damaged by roadworks, and will issue a fine to those responsible. The ERA will also plant another mature pine tree to take its place.
In a Facebook post, the ERA said officials carried out an immediate on-site inspection after receiving reports of damage to the tree.
The inspection found that the pine had suffered extensive root damage during roadside works, leaving it in a condition that required its removal.
The ERA has therefore ordered that a mature pine tree be planted in its place, and stated that a fine will also be issued to the company connected to the incident.
They ERA did not specify the amount of the fine or when the replacement tree is expected to be planted.
