Calm down, it’s Northcote. They can fork out the cash.

user1970969643676 :

Councils need to understand that without us they don’t have a job!!!

Yep :

If it was any other religion the council would give them a grant

💬 :

politicians and councils are ruining life in general - absolute greed

The Dog :

Surely a whole street can stump up 1k to fund a block party?

Ivan Bliminse 😅🦘🐨🐍🦎 :

Council cash grab

JJ :

Local government greed at its best. They'd have permits for us to walk along the streets if they could! Absolute parasites. 😖😡

Jenny Dunbar :

what's wrong with the world

firetheliar77 :

Pure greed!

sallydrake45 :

Angus Walker :

Santa sacks :

Lots of Opinions Nobody :

jeffcats :

Chris OShea :

Tom Watson Snr :

communism they hate Christmas they hate people having fun

user9697089487700 :

Councils are the biggest money hungry grubs going around

Ali :

40+ houses splitting the cost and people are still complaining? Council has to organise road closures, consider the inconvenience to other residents and cover the admin involved. If you want to use a public street for a Christmas party, contributing towards the cost seems fair enough to me

MDH_888 :

councils are over reaching in areas they dont belong. they dont offer anything substantial & should be abolished

troygaskin1 :

Uday12 :

SuttonengineeringStawell :
