Resident Precinct group member Ross
Smith said the green was used primarily by young people as a
spot for drinking.
Its the irresponsible consumption of alcohol on the green
and the flow-out effects on the community, Mr Smith said. Ive never yet seen a
park attack someone. Why isn’t money being spent on the social issues?
The landscaping includes improved play equipment, a
multi-function ball court, new pathways, plants and seating areas.
Factory Community Centre representative Michael Mackenzie
Shreenan said the landscaping changes would have a positive effect.
A Department of Housing spokesperson said residents had an
avenue if they were concerned about trouble. Housing NSW encourages tenants and
residents to continue to report any instances of antisocial behaviour in their
area to police.
