Keep Our Towns Clean!

Townships around the Yarra Ranges will have a new shine thanks to a dedicated priority response township cleaning crew funded in this year's draft budget.

Council's draft 2010/11 budget, which will be presented for in-principle approval at its May 25 meeting, provides $140,000 each year for the team.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Len Cox said the crew would be on hand to help keep the region's townships clean and attractive.
 

Comment:  My gut feeling is that $140 000 is a total waste of money.  $140K would probably be the wages for about 3 workers.  How can we expect 3 workers to keep our Shire clean?  Who has been doing this in the past?  Is there an income from people caught littering?
