Bouquet to the organisers of the Night at the Barracks for the shuttle bus to the event from the Gilbert park bus stop in Manly. The shuttle bus carried 6,182 people over 5 weekends.

Brickbat to the speeding trucks that hurtle down Darley Rd ignoring safety and speed limits, nearly missing pedestrians on the crossing at Ashburner St.

Brickbat to Australia Post for remaining incommunicado with regards to providing any information about the reopening of a Post Office in Manly, either in the old location or any new location. We need a Post Office to open before Christmas.

Brickbat to the café on the Corso that continues to use single use containers for dine in customers and then leave it all in overflowing bins on the footpath overnight from early Monday afternoon. These bins were still there at 11am on Tuesday, overflowing and with more single use plastic litter everywhere.
