FOURTEEN figs will remain in Laman Street for at least another two weeks, following an extension to court hearing dates.
The Parks and Playgrounds Movement applied to the Land and Environment Court for more time to prepare its case against Newcastle City Council's plans to remove the trees.
The court issued an injunction on September 17 and a hearing was set for Monday. The Land and Environment Court has granted an extension, with new hearing dates set for October 6 and 7.
Parks and Playground Movement president Doug Lithgow said the ultimate goal was to halt the impending felling of the figs.
