Having a good time.” No Councillor, from what I have observed they are inconsiderate vandals destroying public property having little regard for other people’s safety in the pursuit of their “sport”. Councillor Harris must be very naive indeed if he thinks that building a dedicated skate park under the Western Distributor in Millers Point will confine the “kids” activities to the new park. May I suggest Council would better serve the Millers Point ratepayers by building a badly-needed children’s playground in the proposed area and build a fabulous new skate park in the wide open and under-utilised plaza situated adjacent to the Town Hall and St Andrews church. Councillor Harris would then be able to enjoy the antics of the skate boarders while he eats his lunch and can listen to the “chatter of the boards” on the Town Hall steps while he attends to council business. Clearly Councillor Doutney is listening to the constituents even if Councillor Harris is yet to sense the anger of the local residents.
