Only in Yarraville...

Re: Only in Yarraville...

Mate, I have 4 viable charcoal chicken options in my area, three within walking distance. The best of them all (cnr of Orong and Glen Huntly roads) isn't.

If I was to nominate a fast food weakness and or perversion, it would be fried chips wrapped in chicken skin.

I always enjoy my chicken and chips. My local one is pretty decent and also locally I have a decent fish and chip shop and pizza place.

Overall for woofers governed under Maribyrnong Council how to do think they have done in helping the local area?

Any other woofers in other council areas who been to council meetings with heated debates over certain issues in your area?

One look at the centre of Fotscray shows the massive problem council has on its hands. It's made some inroads toward addressing some of the the problems but it's a long road ahead. So long that this council will be long gone when the councillors of the day will be confident they can announce the problems are in hand.

Do the locals get a parking permit ?

Re: Only in Yarraville...

Rate payers in Hobson's Bay get a parking permit, does this not happen with the Maribyrnong City Council ?
If not it would solve one of the arguments.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. I lived in the municipality until 06 and we didn't even have a green bin !

You could have probably got an extra bin but you would have had to pay more Remi. Does your current council have the green bin?

Yeah you shouldn't need to pay for a green bin it should be mandatory in very council area. An extra bin is only optional.

Very strange indeed. I wonder what's going on there.

Sorry Eastie, I was being a bit silly. Most of Footscray is infested with heroin dealers. Seedy looking scumbags and the moment you make eye contact with them they will mumble "Chasin'?" to you. "Chasin'?" is "Chasing?'' as in "Are you wanting (Chasin') to buy some heroin today? The whole transaction is done in a nano second from the eye contact to the handover. The locals will sometimes say "I donr know anyone called *!*!*!*!ing Jason so stop hassling me!" after being hassled for the tenth time in two minutes.

Yes that is still a big issue for Footscray. If they could clean that up somewhat it would be very good for an area with huge potential. Is that more confined to the Footscray CBD?

It's mainly in the mall and Paisley st which is slap bang in the middle of the retail area. My mum who grew up in Footscray and lived there until well after she was married point blank refuses to go there these days. The last time she went to Footscray, which would have been more than a decade ago, she said she was so ashamed of what has happened to to the place she swore she'd never go there again. That's pretty sad for someone who is third generation Footscray. It's like being estranged from your spiritual home through no fault of your own. Mum was born, bred, married, christened, went to school and grew up in Footscray,. The fact that she feels so separated from the place is a tragedy for her.
