  • ‘Doomsday’ not due to ‘community’

    “Planning for doomsday” was the headline. Sounds to me like planning doomsday. Water, one of three things needed to stay alive, is in short supply. The other two is food and oxygen. Everyone knows what the problem is but no one has the courage to do anything about it. Councils and mayors past did not want to be the ones to spend the required money to get it fixed and the ones in power seem to be waiting for the next election.
