Hope that the mine finds a wee bit of money to employ a B band worker to remove the weeds around the town, seeing that OTMCO cannot afford to employ a chap to remove these things.... down at Eastgate (Quitegate) , I walked past a 1m weed growing outta the pavement, Shucks! and they say plants cannot grow in the desert.....

I also hope that they send the chap who waters the fifth avenue park on a training course..... that park is becoming an eyesore of late, huge  yellow patches and the sands are now advancing at least 6 metres into the park.....we will not even mention the once green patch on the opposite side of the road from the park en route to the Police station.....

Some pics of the weeds growing around town were send to OTMCO because they did not know what the residents were complaining about.
They removed only the weeds in the pics and left the rest.  image14

Having just arrived back in O'mund I was surprised to see the new trees growing on the edges of the central reservation near the "seven Sisters" at the entrance to town but after a closer look, I realised it wasn't trees at all but long weeds.

I wonder what the impression this gives to first time visitors to this once wonderful town...............!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooops! Did I Mention the dying lawns next to the Power Station, St George's Square and next to the Namdeb Phone dept..... or the dead lawns by the parking bay at the pre primary, only 12 months ago, they were all green, now they blend in with the desert sands..... that yellow colour....

Look for a few potholes in the roads  and plant a row of trees- take the photos & send to those responsible for fixing the town.

This was done a couple of years ago in SA and boy did it get noticed, was a big thing in the papers fro a day or two - got the powers motivated

All things electrical contain smoke. Making it come out is easy; getting it back in? ... yeah right!!!

Instead of naming ALL of the various plubic parks and open grasslands it is easier and shorter to say that the only GREEN areas are those of residents who are still looking after their gardens inside and out and these are far and few between.

Come on NAMDEB TOP MANAGEMENT,(forget OTMCo) get your rear into gear and start to look after the town.

The town is being restored to it's original clean and tidy state, I believe the GM had some words to say about the situation in his brief today..... needless to say, it is indeed a pleasure to see the streets being cleaned and lawns getting watered.,

Michele, baby and I went for our daily walk last night, I almost feel over, and stood in disbelief, somebody had stolen all my weeds and grass that use to be decorating St George's square...... now if they just look into the log that is lying there and that dangerous white electrical cable that is just lying on the surface for about 22 m then we should be back on track......

woo_hoo

Andy D, (Mr Safety Rep) remember we had a conversation about the same said cables that Mike A is mentioning in his note above.

Why don`t you all just move to Luderitz, we don`t really have grass here then you have nothing to complain about.
