A "shocking video" of a cyclist narrowly missing a huge falling tree in Lewisham is deeply concerning, according to the council.
The clip was filmed on October 4 in Adelaide Avenue and shows a tree surgeon cutting a tree before it falls and narrowly misses an oncoming cyclist.
Councillor Alan Hall described it as shocking and said he is concerned for the safety of residents and workers.
