About six weeks ago the large species chart at the Eastern Cleaning table came loose ie one of the bolts had rusted off. One would assume this chart and its supports would have cost several hundred dollars. A couple of weeks later I observed a council ute and two workers inspecting the damage.
Today I observed the sign completely off and lying damaged on the rocks just a small vandalistic push away from being at the bottom of the Camden Haven River.
Let's go back a month or so – had those maintenance men gone back to the depot, selected a couple of new Ramsets, returned to the site and spent an hour fixing the problem, we the ratepayers would not have the cost of a new sign etc to cover.
It's an old saying, but look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.
