Litter on our roads
I drove from Levin to Foxton yesterday and was absolutely horrified at the rubbish on the streets as you go out of Levin. There was McDonalds bags, Iarge plastic bottles, cans, energy drink cans, paper rubbish, coffee cups. People have just been throwing rubbish out the car windows. Our roadsides wherever you go are covered in trash.
It seems to me that the government should be spending money on educating people about littering, rather than banning stickers on fruit. People just need to stop making their rubbish someone else’s problem. Take it home and put it in your rubbish bin.

Stolen Pot plants
Last week on my return from a few days away a green 33cm shrub tub of petunias was missing from the front of my garage,
Today a 39cm terracotta tub of orange pansies and a 33cm shrub of pansies was mmissing from alongise my driveway in Fairs Road.
I have reported these losses to the police.
Should anyone notice that neighbours suddenly have pots or tubs of flowers, either call the police or ask them to return them. They know where they got them.
Lest we forget...
