Vandalism has become regular
The regular Friday night drunken vandalism at Woy Woy on April 3 resulted in a trail of mess and destruction.
Plant and soil was moved to the Woy Woy Post Office and strewn over the area, a signpost was pushed to the ground causing a traffic and pedestrian hazard and rubbish thrown around streets.
One shopkeeper said there was a pack of at least 50 drunken youth vandalising and creating havoc in the early hours of Saturday morning.
This is an ongoing occurrence every week on Saturday morning.
Citizens have to avoid the broken glass, vomit, rubbish and vandalism as they walk their dog, go to work or go out for an early coffee.
The questions that need to be asked: Where are the police from the 24-hour police station in Woy Woy and how are these youths getting so intoxicated?
Photographs I took the following morning document the discarded alcohol bottles, cans, rubbish and shopping trolleys around the Woy Woy Leagues Club precinct and all along Blackwall Rd.
Similar situations regularly occur in West St, Umina, with broken and damaged shop fronts, plants ripped out and scenes of public disorder a regular occurrence.
A response to these questions from the relevant government representatives would be appreciated.
