Bouquet to the Council for the excellent repair of the brickwork on the footpath along East Esplanade. So much better than a bit of sticky black asphalt.

Brickbat to Council for the new doggy poo bag dispensing system. Even if the bags are now green and bio degradable the metal box with no lid or weep holes to let the water out leaves a lot to desired.

Bouquet to Community Forums in the Manly Ward for their excellent submission on the Tree Canopy. It is available on the MCF website.
