Basic problems

THERE is continual dumping of ‘householder’ rubbish in Casey in many areas, some of which has been there since before New Year’s Eve, and also tree cuttings.
Why should I have to spend 30 cents from my pension to ring Casey regarding this problem?
As a ratepayer since 1996, my only letter to Wayne Smith took 13 months to get a reply. Then I didn’t get a response from Wayne Smith but a garbled reply from a Casey worker.
Does Casey require the huge cost of a cultural centre? Just to be big-noting?
When they are so lax on doing other more necessary things, ie: street repairs, dogs not on leads in streets, cats roaming at night (not strays).
I was awoken at 3.40am on 28 December 2013 by a noise at my front door. This was very frightening to an elderly woman alone, with so many break-ins in this shire.
Upon checking, I found a neighbour’s cat clawing at my security doors. The same cat was found in my shed where it caused damage to property – this was in 2010.
One wonders if owners are immune to council by-laws. I am not the only person to be annoyed by this cat.
I’m sure ratepayers would be more pleased to have problems like the above fixed, than have a cultural centre that a large percentage of ratepayers would seldom, if ever, visit.
D Luke,
Doveton.
