Thank you to the council

Thank you very much to Goulburn Mulwaree Council for your prompt clean-up response to resident's phone calls regarding the rubbish that was dumped last month on Carrick Road. It is very much appreciated.

Also appreciated was the lawn-mowing around the Towrang Hall, fire station and along the road. It makes a huge difference to the look of the village area.
