Despite being only four years old, the flash dunnies have seen ratepayers constantly spending a pretty penny on maintenance since they were built with the elegant outhouses’ pipes too small for the job - despite their goal of attracting thousands of passing travellers to stop in the town’s main drag.

My front fence has been damaged on several occasions in the past 6 months. I've reported it to the police but nothing seems to be done about it. Last night I heard a loud bang and thought it was car that smashed into my fence again but only to find out it was a couple of teenagers. My neighbor got into his car and chased after them but they ran down Fairfield college and into the gully. I am quite frustrated because my fence is a boundary line aluminum fence which was quite expensive but it is completely damaged.
I'm just wondering if we should perhaps set up a neighborhood watch if anyone on bankwood rd would be interested, could you pm me please.
