Untidy Towns

Just One Night of Parties

Maxine and Peter were doing the deliveries on November 1st after Halloween. The amount of bottles, cans and empty six packs and containers was almost unbelievable. Add to this image the number of smashed bottles on the road and you will start to get the picture. You still have to add the discarded fast food wrappers from McDonalds and the chicken and pizza places to get the full view of the terrible condition of streets of Tamworth.

Its amazing that we entered the Tidy Towns competition. It seems that the youth of the city could not give a "stuff" about their rubbish. It was disgraceful. We drove into most streets in South Tamworth and covered over 200km but can't remember one street or cull-de-sac that did not have at least one item of rubbish on the road, gutter or a letterbox. At all times we had to keep watch for broken glass to avoid senseless damage to our tyres.
