Rothwell Park update

I visited Rothwell Park back in mid July and found that the fence along one edge of the park had been vandalised.

I finally got around to reporting that to Council yesterday.  

I got an email at 9am this morning to say:

Thank you for your report of graffiti on the northern fence line of Rothwell Park which you lodged with council yesterday.

These fences are private property and in accordance with council's policies and practices (see http://www.canadabay.nsw.gov.au/business_services/information_for_businesses/graffiti_removal_service.html) quotations for all the fences in this area were issued proactively to relevant property owners some weeks ago.

If these quotations are accepted and paid the graffiti will be removed.

Co-ordinator Building Services
City of Canada Bay Council

Council has done the right thing and approached the owners and provided quotes - it's now up to the owners to do the right thing and accept them.  

I hope there is someone living in Jones St, Concord (which is where the houses are) that takes up the cause and encourages all the affected owners in the street to do the right thing.

Rothwell Park, Concord

I recently went past Rothwell Park in Concord and noticed that there was some graffiti on part of the fenceline around the park, so today I had a closer look.

The fence on the northern side of the park looks like this for most of its length, and it is quite a considerable length.

The graffiti goes on and on and on and on.

The toilet block has collected a couple of tags.

Toilets.

Graffiti on what looks like a player's box.

More of the fenceline.

And more....

...and more...

.....and on it goes......

It even goes down a laneway leading away from the park.

This is just outside the park on a wall around an old Council depot.

More of the Council depot - that fence has not kept vandals out.

The front gate of the Council depot.

The sign has been so vandalised, it is hard to read that this is an Council works depot.

Part of a fence along a drainage easement.

The entire fence on both sides of the easement has been heavily defaced.

A wider view of the easement.

And back to the toilets in Rothwell Park.

Even the Telstra cabling boxes have been vandalised.

It's very hard to see, but the glass in this bus shelter has been etched quite badly.
