SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING..and then I realised I was someone.
Dear Neighbours - Are you as fed up as I am when you see all the chucked rubbish in the ditches as you drive through our lovely countryside? Here are 3 pics of the trash I picked up along Crawford Road the last 3 mornings. Mostly alco-pop cans and junk food wrapping - there is a theme here.
So, in the spirit of being part of the solution, I propose that we all adopt a stretch of road and take it upon ourselves to pick up the trash and bin it with our own rubbish.
Now I know YOU didn't biff that trash but unless someone picks it up, it will continue to be an upsetting eyesore each time you drive past. Once you see it, you keep seeing it and it doesn't disappear....'Someone should do something' - yep, and that someone is you and me.
I'm thinking of hitting up our Councillor Noel and asking him to fund a few signs saying 'KEEP THE CAN IN YOUR VAN' or " DON'T BIFF YOUR TRASH, YOUR MOTHER'S WATCHING' or 'DON'T BIFF YOUR SH**'. but he'll probably say no.
Thoughts??

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
