I am an ex-Howick resident and current visitor [as at February 27].
Over the last week while driving and walking around Howick, I am surprised how scruffy the streets look. Weeds growing in the gutters and in cracks on footpaths.
The area around the Howick Domain is particularly bad with leaves blown from the trees and cut grass that has not been collected. These all wash down into the stormwater at some point.
Maybe the Council could give some rate relief to residents in return for keeping part of their street tidy.
