Terror for the treetops

Mornings this week there've been white trucks with red markings around in the side streets. The fear has been that these represent more "line-clearing" by contractors for the City. The butchery from the last time is still evident in all its ugliness, complete with trees left standing but that died as a result of their kind treatment by chainsaws unleashed. Now it appears that this outfit (RSI? Burnup & Sims?) may be stringing new wires from poles to the dim streetlamps on side streets in order to make them as blindingly bright as luminaires on wider streets. At noontime the bucket trucks were out and around. Minor noise of chainsaws was to be heard, mostly trimming off waterspouts left by the serious butchery of the past. We shall see.
