low plains drifter 10,702 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 On a smaller scale, but look at what is being done in some parts of the country with people clearing overgrown areas and making community veg plots etc, locals are improving their own areas and doing the councils job for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
