Stay of Execution for Laman Street Figs

International Tree Day at Civic Park last Sunday was a great success and a timely reminder of what Newie has to lose. Congratulations to the organisers of the day and to supporters for gaining another successful recission motion to stop council from destroying our town's figs.

Behind the Iron Curtain

Citizens of Newcastle are separated from their civic fountain, cultural centre, galleries and fig trees by an iron curtain installed by the town's administrators in a scene reminiscent of the division of Berlin after World War 2.

V is for Victory! Kids attending International Tree Day at Civic Park in Newcastle want their town back. As Churchill would say: "We will fight them on the beaches, on the shores ...we will never surrender!". More info at http://saveourfigs.wordpress.com/
