Improved street competition

If you think your street could do with a spruce-up, a Keep Dunedin Beautiful (KDB) competition is for you.

Run in conjunction with the Otago Home Show, the "Most Improved Street Competition" involves taking photos of your street, or section of street, before giving it a tidy-up and documenting the results.

The improvements should not be costly, and could include clearing litter and graffiti and tidying gardens and frontages.

Rubbish bags and gloves are available from KDB and the Dunedin City Council can reimburse the cost of one trailer load of rubbish to the landfill.

Winners will receive a plaque, trophy, and street party or appropriate street gift.

The before photos are due in by December 15, and the after photos by February 21.

Winners will be announced at the Otago Home Show on March 4.
