Once ‘anti-dog’, then always ‘anti-dog’. Clowncil simply cannot help itself as evidenced by its latest entry in the propaganda sheet ‘The Glen Eira News’. Reporting back on the ‘community consultations’ what do we find people want? – greater enforcement of dogs off leash. This is all well and proper, if it was an accurate reflection […]
Well, well, well. It seems that even the experts have nothing but condemnation for Glen Eira Clowncil’s draft Animal Management Plan. Below is a letter by one of Victoria’s leading vets (Ann Nevill) which appeared in this week’s Moorabbin Leader:
“The Glen Eira Council has requested feedback from the community members on the initial draft concerning […]
When will this clowncil’s media releases actually start reflecting ‘reality’?? The latest example of fibbing concerns the posting out of animal registration tags and payment notices. The community is told that these were posted out in ‘early March’. I received mine yesterday, others received theirs today, and some are still waiting! This basically gives pet […]
One issue that stood out like a sore thumb at the recent ‘community forums’ was inappropriate development. Time and again residents bemoaned what was happening to their streets and suburbs - 3 storey/8 unit developments on single blocks; lack of adequate car parking provisions within these blocks, etc. etc. etc. In response, our kingdom of […]
A few months back I posted the story of how our good Samaritan, a gentleman in his 60’s was watering council trees and his little pomerian ventured out the three metres to accompany him. Our hero walked back to replace the watering can when lo and behold our wonderful glen eira dog catchers nabbed him […]
A little while back I predicted that clowncil’s new approach to ‘consultation’ was really another form of Clayton’s consultation. Well folks, I should go into the clairvoyant business. The so called ‘results’ of the recent 6 ‘community forums’ are now public, as is the so-called ‘Community Plan’. Please note that this is a total misnomer. […]
Isn’t it wonderful – Glen Eira Clowncil has finally carried out a ‘major consultation’ on its community plan. We were told time and time again how ‘extensive’ this ‘consultation’ is; how concerned clowncil is and how dearly it wants to listen to the views of the community. Well the ‘consultations’ have come and gone. Yes, there […]
The following is taken verbatim from the Municipal Association of Victoria’s weekly newsletter (week ending March 14th):
Council Initiative on Combating Climate Change
Last year, Glen Eira City Council offered to install energy efficient compact fluorescents in residents’ homes free of charge. To date, 265,087 globes within the municipality have been replaced. This is equivalent to […]
I would love someone to explain the following please. Why is it that building sites, according to clowncil’s info, require one toilet for 10 workers, yet, this mob can ‘hire’ out or take ‘bookings’ for barbecues/rotundas for hours on end so that there are literally hundreds of people in a park and yet only provide two […]
From this week’s Glen Eira Leader.
I have just moved to City of Glen Eira a month ago, and I’ve worked out there is a lot missing at my local council.
Where is the information about environment and waste? Not on its website.
Where is the environment officer? Missing, too. There is not a single one at Glen […]
