That is correct. Businesses in town had to close down today as they don't have staff. Others are running short or had to hire staff.

I can't take your word for it, you're a recent immigrant into the area

Then again I was in Howick a few years ago, and it was atrocious, so even a small improvement will be night and day

There are definitely improvements, don't get me wrong, it just not as majestic as it sounds. I still drive in pot holes and not on the road.
