Ogle residents being affected by several problems

FROM numerous complaints of residents we have decided to voice our concerns of issues that affect us. We are the offspring of our deceased who struggled to establish our lives. Ogle – means lustily; Industry – means the manufactory of goods. Hard work!
We the residents are now awakening to the humiliating circumstance in our once beautiful scheme.
Our ethos is now being destroyed within the moral principles, cultural or religious. Listed are as follows:

* Indiscriminate dumping of putrid matters, also tree trimming and other waste.
* Indiscriminate use of the Centre Ground.
* The burial ground – God bless the dead.
* Rates and taxes
* Water cost and supply
* Electricity supply
* Business illegal drugs
* The indiscriminate mini-buses.

The Plaisance/Industry Local Government District Constitution Order, i.e. the Municipal and District Council Act Chapter 28:01 under Section 33 Standing Committees (5) The District Council shall appoint and at all times maintain:
* Finance committee
* Works as above
* Market
* Health

1. Now to expound, rates and taxes are collected, yet drains are not maintained or cleaned. Residents have to take the responsibility of making sure there are no bush weeds or long grass which hinders a free flow of waste water. Mosquito control is a memory.
2. Streets are also not maintained.
3. Collection of refuse. An open truck is used on Wednesdays. Formally it was a horse drawn cart. Imagine what happens when the truck travels, the lighter stuff is blown out, littering the environment.

Mr. Editor, for the year 1998 the analysis of expenditures totalled $15,947,888
The year 2004 capital expenditure, $10,716.081
The budget totalled year 2005 – $20,937,605
Expenditure – $3,000,000 (year 2006) Budgeted – $30,680,629
Year 2008 – Current expenditure – $45,759,565

Budget and expenditures were for drainage and irrigation, roads, dams and bridges, education and community development. This is to pen a few.
Can the authority show what was done and accountability of expenditure?
