You are complaining about the state of our inner city?? Years ago when Meng Foon was Mayor, he commented that if you want to have the District Council wash the streets in the CBD, the rates would go up.
Years ago, further back, shop owners had their youngest or newest employee sweep the footpath in front of their store. A clean entrance welcomes customers.
If someone had been sick out there overnight, or had the urge to go to the toilet, a bucket, long-handled brush and disinfectant was soon hauled out there.
Do you think GDC should clean up? If that was the expectation, they wouldn’t get there for several hours and in the meantime you have possible customers bypassing your store because of the state of your footpath.
Get real. Start a roster or something and make our CBD the way it should be — do not expect council workers to come to the fore. They are flat out on other things like fixing damage from the cyclone and other storms.
