Letters: Look out for the coconuts

Dear Editor, The coconut tree concern also needs to be raised in parliament.

Please allow me to once again draw attention to the very real danger of the coconut tree.

Those I’ve spoken to are very aware and concerned why nothing is being done to remove large bunches of coconuts hanging precariously over the sides of roads.

Sad for those people who are unfortunate to spend months in hospital badly injured.

The realization will then hit home of how vulnerable we are.  

It could be your child or your loved one.

We need to know we are safe from this happening on our roads.

It reminds me of a song, Raindrops (coconuts) keep falling on my head.

A big Meitaki Maata to those kind people who have removed coconuts from the road side.
