A Dunedin City Council competition seems to be proving that people either aren't interested in competitions or aren't interested in their street.

The Most Improved Street Awards have had to be extended due to not a single entry being received.

The competition is judged on improvements to the overall tidiness of a street and the lack of things like rubbish and graffiti.

Entries were to close tomorrow, but the deadline has been extended until mid-January in the hope of attracting at least one entrant.
