Email Of The Day
Email Of The Day
The following email was sent to the local community email list. It says a lot of what I said the other day about the cleanliness of the park in Ramat Bet Shemesh.
The following email was sent to the local community email list. It says a lot of what I said the other day about the cleanliness of the park in Ramat Bet Shemesh.
Attention Parents:I didn't see rats or mice, but that is disgusting. I passed by this park again on Shabbos, and we stopped for a few minutes for the kids to run in and play, and man was it disgusting! We were on the other side of the park this time, and it was probably even worse than what i saw the other day!
The new park on the corner of Arugot & Ein-Gedi (across the street from Bank
Hapoalim) was completed about aprox . 3 months ago. since the park opened,
it has not been cleaned whatsoever!
The garbage cans are completely overflowing w/ garbage: foul smelling dirty
diapers, broken glass bottles, rotting food etc.strewn everywhere. I called
the Iriyah to complain. I was told the park has not yet been "handed over"
to them, therefore it is not their responsibility to clean the park.
The person who is responsible is a man named: Yoram from the "Beit
Shemesh Misrad Hashikun" branch, his office is located on Ayalon 10 the #
is 991-9259 , to speak to him directly , It is not difficult to reach him,
he usually answers.
I called him three times , over the past 2 weeks about this problem. He said
he would send cleaners to empty the garbage cans and to clean up , It has
yet to be done.
I strongly suggest that before the summer vacation starts, the MORE people
that call & put PRESSURE to clean up the park..the better!
This past Thurs. mid-morning I was walking in the park (to see if indeed
it has been cleaned - which not surprisingly was not!) What I saw was
pretty disturbing..right smack in the middle of the park near the play
slides two very ugly brownish/grayish looking mouse that was huge and right
there feasting it's heart out in middle of all the garbage oblivious to my
presence. I did some research (thanks to Google!) and I am almost 100% sure
it was a rat or perhaps a possum - most definitely NOT the kind of playmate
you want your kids interacting with!!!!! A huge chaval that this new park
that they put so much effort in making is starting to look like a completely
unacceptable neglected dump!
Bottom Line is: Please a moment to call YORAM 991-9259 to complain
every day until he arranges that cleaners come on a consistent basis to
'up-keep' this park, this is for your safety too

Just like the pathway near my street, which I use on Shabbat to go to Shul, which has years old overgrown weeds, and stones and garbage, and whatever, and no one cares, nothing is done. I think the only thing to do is resort to legal means. It is after all our money from the Arnona, that went into this in the first place, and now after all the money was spent, they won;t maintain it. Not only is it disgusting and illegal, but against the Torah as well.
ReplyDeleteRafi. You are absolutely right- it is disgusting and it really should have been cleaned.
ReplyDeleteLets not forget though that the onus is on us, the community, not to drop litter in the park (or anywhere else for that matter). And yes, more bins should have been provided. But if a bin is overflowing, it is irresponsible to place it next to the bin, or even in to it. One wouldnt litter their own property, I dont understand the tolerance to litter public property.
