So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!

23.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.5% ... It is complicated

Illegal dumping
This is awful how people just disregard bylaws. dump their rubbish in parks and waterways to try get away with having to pay dumping costs at the rubbish dumps and transfer stations. This also can cause flooding again due to blocking the grate of the culvert in Princes street. No thought for neighbours or damage that can be caused by their actions.
