Is lovely Stanger turning into a ghost town?
I have addressed the issue of how our once previously pristine town has rapidly degenerated into a huge cesspool, open air toilet and dumping site.
I encounter these abominable, disgusting, repulsive sights every day as I pursue my mythological weight loss agenda.
What was once a thriving trading place for so many generations has been reduced to a ghost town.
I have attached images of some of the businesses that have been forced to close down for whatever reason.
Every street corner without exception is overridden with garbage, and vermin have a field day.
I counted at least 70 beggars and urchins sleeping under shop roofs.
This is the norm and I’m afraid it’s going to exacerbate unless the matter is urgently addressed.
I don’t think that the coronavirus stands a chance against our airborne diseases.
The powers that be must stop bickering about party politics and address serious issues.
It’s an absolute disgrace and violation of human rights when millions of citizens suffer without basic necessities while their leaders live in opulence and luxury.
