A friendly alert to all neighbours
Perhaps the strangest theft of 2020 - I recently had a high pressure hot water cylinder replaced and decided to make use of the now defunct unit. I Stripped the outer aluminium coating and the foam insulation away before cutting the steel 180 litre tank in half, lengthwise, with a view to using the two halves as planters. I got up yesterday to find that both halves ( probably heavy enough to require two people to shift them quietly), had been stolen from the back of my house. The two halves were not visible from the street which suggests that someone has been wandering through properties (mine anyway), to even know that they were there. These pieces of steel are the second item to be removed from my property in the last little while so treat this as a friendly alert to people in the Maryhill and wider areas.
Poll: Could we live without public bins?
Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?

Stop paying too much!
The affordability of everyday items just keeps increasing!
If it’s not the petrol prices, it’s the cost of food, insurance or rates and let’s not get started on mortgage interest costs!
From our recent poll, it shows that over half of people are paying more than a 6% mortgage interest rate. Home loan interest rates don't stay the same for long these days and it’s causing many households to feel stressed out.
