Free curtains, 2 pairs
We have two pairs of curtains to give away. They are old, brown with a design as shown in pic. Sun damaged, faded, have been washed and left with black marks on backing. They might be useful for someone who can repurpose the fabric, or use them for a caravan, bach, or flat. Or for someone in need of basic window coverings that will provide some dark and warmth. We are not claiming good condition at all, hence they are free :)
Please arrange pick up this week before we head to the dump.
Measurements approx:
- one pair was from a ranchslider door and window - 2300 track width.
- one shorter pair was from a rectangular window in bedroom - 2050 track width.
Curtain hooks included.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
