Disappointing response to floats left discarded in NA

Mar 22, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor, 

The dumping of Mash floats after the event is nothing new.  Millions of dollars spent only to be callously discarded by revellers.

This was amply exemplified in the item ‘Mash floats dumped around New Amsterdam with accompanying photographs (GT March 21).

It is of concern that some two weeks after the event in that town, the dumping of unwanted materials and littering of the streets has seen a nonchalant and lackadaisical response from the council, which, it seems, has taken a hands-off approach of its responsibilities, with the lame explanation the event was not organized by them. Really!!  Can it get more bizarre than this?

Companies and businesses have a responsibility to ensure floats and costumes are not left discarded and streets littered.  Further cleanup cost should have been borne by the region and council. Disappointing, very disappointing!

Regards,

Shamshun Mohamed
