Lift your game

I AGREE with Angela, of Hampton Park about the neglect by Casey Council.
Having moved to Narre Warren two years ago I can clearly see that Casey looks after only Berwick and the land near the council offices.
Tinks Road is lucky to see a lawn mowed unless the grass is at least a foot tall.
The area on Princes Highway between Tinks Road and Fountain Gate never seem to be mown.
Streets around the Hampton Park/Narre Warren area are by far less important to Casey Council.
Rubbish, overgrown council land and in general a dirty appearance are common in these two areas.
The parks in the Narre Warren area are only ever attended to when the grass is a foot tall.
Casey it seems doesn’t have the manpower to properly manage its parks and road reserves. Or is it just penny pinching?
New estates are the only places they seem to care about. Come on Casey, lift your game.
Greg Smith,
Narre Warren.
