OPINION

I have a photo of three dumped trollies on private property in central Rotorua.

You wouldn’t know they are there unless you were walking past, and looked over the wall.

It is outrageous ratepayers are expected to pay for their retrieval.

Many trollies are damaged beyond repair.

It is up to retailers to make sure the trollies don’t leave their premises in the first place.
