EDITOR – An open letter to all Woodlands, Montclair and YWP neighbours.
I wrote a letter to all you a few months ago in the hope that we could all work together in keeping our suburbs clean.
I am a little (okay, to be honest a lot) disappointed that no-one has heeded my pleas.
What are we quietly ‘saying’ by allowing our suburbs to degenerate into filthy streets and areas? Because if we don’t do anything about changing the situation, we are in fact allowing it to happen and even promoting it.
Have you seen your neighbour’s dogs rip apart the garbage bags and the rubbish has been left? Have you approached them to please tidy it up?
Have you been guilty of leaving your litter lying around? Or building rubble and garden refuse?
Are the verges in front of your yards clean and looked after? Yes, it’s always the municipality’s job or somebody else’s job but how about caring enough for your ‘patch’ to look after it?
If each person just looked after their yard, verge, garden and rubbish, we wouldn’t have to cringe everytime we drove around.
You know who you are.
Are you really not embarrassed or ashamed when you drive past your own patch that looks filthy and it’s because you couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it? Really?
It doesn’t even take that much effort, trust me.
I know some really great people in our area who are not afraid to get stuck in and with a bit of an effort, their patch looks amazing. Well done to you.
To the rest, the area you live in is a reflection of you, so what is it reflecting?
