"Colin Charlwood, a Liberal Democrat councillor, said: "The truth is that, like everything else, health and safety regulations mean we have to be mindful that palm trees could be dangerous.
"What if one of those leaves caught a child in the eye, for example? It is a little bit like keeping tigers: they are beautiful to look at but you wouldn't want them wandering the streets. What is being suggested is not that we don't have them, but that they need to be placed out of harm's way." Mr Excell said the trees were vital to the resort's identity."
