Update - seems I have enough takers - I will mark as taken once all are dug up

Some residents of the street say they weren't made aware of the closure, others are concerned about passing traffic pressure onto other surrounding streets, and some people think the closure of one intersection isn't enough to make people safe.

Dirty Nelson

Sally Kidson Reporter from The Nelson Mail

I picked this rubbish up in about five minutes along Atawhai Drive this week. A lot was plastic. What do you think can be done to stop this? Where is particularly bad for littering in Nelson? Is there somewhere you could spend five minutes cleaning up the roadside?
