Out walking Scully this morning, I walked through the small park not far from my place. We go through here a lot. Just before Christmas the local council did some renovation and landscaping work in the park, making some of the areas look really nice.
There’s a slightly sloping grassy area, about half the size of a tennis court, which they beautified. They relandscaped it, installed new seats, added some nice sandstone blocks to define the area which can double as seating, mulched the surrounding planted areas, and laid brand new turf.
With all of the rain recently, it’s become a bit muddy.
This morning when I walked past, I saw that overnight someone has driven a car in, must be 200 metres from the street, along a pedestrian path barely wide enough for a car – they must have been scraping bushes on both sides.
And they’ve driven back and forth across the whole area churning it all up into a mud pit, with wheel marks 10-15cm deep.
Ugh! What sort of idiot does something like this?
I passed a few other people who were also looking at this mess, horrified like me.
Now the council is going to have to come back and spend a bunch of money to fix this up again. Some people really make me sick sometimes.
Oh, and yesterday I spoke too soon. There was some rain overnight, so yesterday in fact didn’t end up with no rainfall recorded, making it 7 days in a row with rain. It hasn’t rained yet today, but there are showers developing now as I type.
