A Story of the Avon River
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful river running through the neighbourhood of Burwood/Avondale. It was a well-kept area until one day there was a terrible earthquake. Then everything stopped. The grass on the banks got longer and longer and people could not enjoy walking there. The grass got so long a request to have it cut was sent to the Council, who sent someone to cut it. A neighbour seeing the result took it upon himself to tidy the area himself so that people could again enjoy the area. The community appreciated what he did and a local organisation bought him a new lawnmower to make his work easier. One day after a number of years the Council sent some people to build a stopbank. After a few weeks of work, they left, leaving a pile of dusty soil with sides too steep to mow with a lawnmower (if they had planted any grass) resulting in a magnificent display of weeds.
The neighbour became disheartened and very disappointed. How is he to fix it so that it looks again like a Garden City we live in instead of an abandoned allotment?
Any ideas on how to make this sad story have a happy ending?
