She has seen first-hand the damage they are doing to conservation and restoration areas, blocking waterways, causing flooding. In the interests of our beautiful community, I thought that you would probably be interested in adding your signatures.

You’ll find it here –the preamble explains it all!

www.change.org...

Yesterday she had a discussion with her local supermarket staff and found that when they get calls about misappropriated trolleys, they must pass the request on to their Head Office (OSH policy). Of course, right now it’s holidays so there will be delays. But even when it’s NOT holidays and there are delays in collecting the trolleys the idiots have more opportunities to move the trolleys again, damage them, or push them into areas which other people/groups have been working hard to beautify.

You and I and other responsible people are merely the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff when we report missing trolleys to the rightful owners, or return them, or use Snap Send Solve or other apps. What she is asking for is the corporate HQ of the stores to install PREVENTATIVE action. There are systems available which will prevent damage to the environment and waste of resources and time.

As she says, I've got better things to do with her time than taking action with misplaced trolleys. Haven't you? It would be a big task to change the mindset of the idiots... so hopefully the supermarkets and stores, once aware of how we feel, will live up to their sustainability policies and take positive action.

Would you like to sign and share the petition? That would be fantastic!

Time to consider what is on the agenda for this year,if houses renovating is the plan then consider upgrading your windows to double glazing. I do double glazing retro fit in timber and aluminium windows and are happy to give a free friendly quote. Now is a good time to double glaze and get ready for winter.40 years of experience,

This year has been crazy, and we are glad it’s almost over! We are still open during the holiday season but will be closed for a few days from January 1 to January 3. We have a 23% off sale for all refurbished laptops and computers in stock until January 4.
If you are still looking for a NY gift for you or your loved ones, this is your chance. Hurry up – limited quantities are available!


What are refurbished computers? They are business-class laptops and desktops that are meant to last much longer than the usual plastic consumer-grade stuff from big-box retailers. We replaced batteries and hard drives with new Solid State Drives, so the computers are as fast and reliable as new, if not better, due to their build quality and the parts used. We sell them with the same one-year warranty as new ones.
