Suspicious Refuse Bag Vendors

Hi Tineke,

Appeal from Glencairn Fire Committee

Dear Neighbours,
 
You may have noticed the huge overgrowth of alien vegetation surrounding our beautiful corner of the valley… and perhaps the alien forests on Dido Valley Road and around Da Gama Park (which has no fire breaks at all)… We will be in danger if major fires set ablaze like those seen in Scarborough last [...]
