All those who have petitions on the go, if you have had enough, let me know and I will arrange collection, if you want a final burst that fine.
With nearly 500 signing the online petition, and from what I can gather more than twice that signing the paper copy, we have a strong case to take to Liardet Street in getting them to ensure that the mural retains its place.
I have a selection of trees,shrubs ,perennials & groundcovers & all only $3.50 ea or 3 for $10.00. Good size healthy plants.Ph/txt Tony027 9793186.
