Members of the council and Mayor.
Just Wondering if the village owns a street sweeper anymore. Reason being my family and I went Into the CBD to have lunch. And then we went for a nice walk and we all noticed the streets are very filthy with Litter, just wondering what’s going on. Because we haven’t seen this before. It’s starting to look like New York City. Well anyway hopefully this will be addressed.
Thank you .
Yours truly village resident
