We can solve this WCC

Briony from Khandallah

Took these pictures on one walk this week - 5 disposable masks just dropped on the road and footpaths along Cashmere Ave and Burma Rd area. Yep, totally agree that people should simply not drop them, but also firmly believe that Council and Metlink etc should support this by installing bins at every bus stop. Train stations have them already, but bus stops don't. As a litter-picker-upper I can also confirm that drink boxes and cans, and snack and takeaway wrappers are more densely discarded near bus stops and in gutters on main routes.

So WCC, please can we respond, adapt and roll with this changed world we live in - and install rubbish bins (even a recycling option if we were going to be truly innovative...) at bus stops all across Wellington? We can support and encourage people to be responsible (dog walkers included probably!) and clean up our roads and neighborhoods at the same time. Simple really.

Stamps wanted

Marty from Johnsonville

I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
