The items below were first published as two separate posts on our sister blog – At the grassroots. We’ve decided to combine them into one piece to repost here on Stirrings from below. This has been done simply to illustrate the points we often make about people in a community taking action themselves to deal with problems they can deal with, rather than appealing to the authorities.
When you need something done, get straight on and do it! That is the way to get it done! ✊
