Gutter Weeds...
I hope everyone is having a great New Year and are keeping safe during this Summer storm π§π¦
At least the gutter weeds will be enjoying the rain...
Seriously though, I've been monitoring them over the last couple of months, hoping that they would be dealt with in time for Christmas, but no such luck. π±π±π±π±
On the North Shore, Ventia have the contract to kill weeds in the road corridor (gutters, roundabouts, traffic islands) using hot water or foam, but it doesn't seem to be getting done at all. This should be routinely done and not rely on the public complaining.
I haven't noticed the weeds like this in other parts of Auckland...

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
