It looks amazing!
It is amazing but others are not given employment chance how was the employment/hiring conducted since there is no post on their site?
Morning yes it will look amazing BUT kept the Paras out of town or …………….
The idea is good but tomorrow it is a mess again. It is high time government, the municipality and Police start issuing fines to members of the public that just dump rubbish….the public need to be punished.
When will Newcastle follow. Newcastle is a fermenting shit hole. It’s time the municipality starting getting its act together and do some work.
Fantastic to see some positive progression in the town!
I’ll to thank for this opportunity
