Community Cleanup Event for Crompton Park, Sunday 22 August

I have arranged that Metro Police and the Parks Department clear out the fireplaces and collected items brought into the park by vagrants (again) during the week and also have asked the Engineers to clear the rubble by the river from the park. All of this should be good preparation for the community to turn out in force to clean the park.

I will provide bags and gloves to those who cannot bring their own. I ask residents and volunteers to bring lots of water with them and some tough shoes. The cleanup will start at 09h00 and finished when we run out of steam, bags or rubbish (whichever comes first).

I have read comments and/or requests from several members of the community in the local media that something be done about the Park – let’s get together on Sunday and do something about it.

The Crompton Park is opposite the Life Crompton Hospital and bounded by Crompton and Sunnyside as per the map below.
