Global warming.

Roger from South Waikato District

We hear of global warming,we hear of flash flooding.Here in Tokoroa it’s become a nice little earner.
A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) places them directly above the drain, on the grass berm.
A slight breeze or rain sees this debris back in the drain again.
I can only assume the contractor has a relation on the local council.
The council has been made aware of this situation,but considering what else has been a total stuff up in this town I must admit this is insignificant.
