Graffiti cleanup at skate park

Residents of the Peninsula participated in a graffiti cleanup at Umina Skate Park on Sunday, May 15, as part of Gosford Council's Graffiti Action Day.

Gosford mayor Cr Laurie Maher said the aim of the day was to create awareness about the time, money and energy spent by Council, local businesses and community groups in cleaning up graffiti.

"We have a beautiful environment here and it should be free of illegal graffiti and enjoyed by all members of our community," said Cr Maher.

"Graffiti Action Day is an opportunity for residents to come together and show they are proud to take an active role in helping clean up our community," he said.

"The removal of illegal graffiti from all over Gosford City is a problem faced by many in our community, having a significant social and financial impact on our area."
