I remember back in the day when Council workers used to actually don raincoats and clear the drains when it was raining.
Ron Hannigan and his men, wet weather gear on, or not, shovels in hand physically cleared drains while it was wet and they could see where the problems were.
Not only in the dry times, nor in floods, but all year round, year after year.
Ah, back in the day.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
“physically cleared drains “
More effective than a spiritual cleansing.
Can’t do it. Work place health and safety.
That would be like police going into a school when someone is shooting the place up. Can’t, insurance won’t cover it.
We can’t make stuff in Australia, cost too much to comply with environmental reg.
Let’s just keep asking for more government and see how we end up. Easier than being responsible for ourselves.
Chris, sweetheart. You appear to have an unhealthy respect for personal responsibility. Have you seen some people?
