While the council's team cut down the tree, the job was not completed properly. A significant part of the tree is still protruding from the ground, creating a serious safety hazard. Just the other day, I witnessed an elderly woman trip over the remaining stump while walking past. This situation poses a significant risk to pedestrians, especially those who are less steady on their feet.
