This letter is to thank Stephen Phillips Jr., superintendent of the Department of Public Works in Southampton Village. I recently had two very old, dead, large trees located directly across the street from my home. I made only one in-person visit and sent only one email.
Shortly thereafter (practically the next day), the two dangerous trees were removed and taken away. If these trees were not removed, they could have caused a serious issue to myself and my neighbors.
Thank you again for your prompt service.
