“The young Englishman of Victorian days,” says a writer, “faced the world with his head held high.” But the collars helped a lot. All the old poplars, numbering 78, along Oxford terrace and Cambridge Terrace have now been removed, it was reported to the Christchurch City Council. The stumps are being dug out as rapidly as possible and removed to the dump at Sandilands. When this work is completed the banks will be renovated and resown in lawn grass, opportunity being taken to stabilise the banks at the water’s edge to prevent further erosion.
