    Caretaker doing more than the MP. Shuggy AKA Braffer should be ashamed. Never present in your community to support the same ones that voted for you.

    It’s scary to think what could happen if drains are blocked. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

    What about having a volunteer day for the community members to come and help the clear up.
    Anyone who is able could help even for an hour or two at a time?.
    Just an idea.
