Local buyer could put long-time Grafton eyesore out of its misery

By Lesley Apps

IT is one of Grafton’s most persistent and talked about eyesores, but the former United ‘All-nighter’ service station may finally be put out of its misery and the community’s if a potential new sale goes ahead. The high-profile derelict building has been a blight on the entrance to the historic city for more than a decade, left to slowly deteriorate to ghetto-standards, its prime position a visual travesty that will only become more noticeable once the nearby South Grafton roadworks are completed in August. Natasha Watkinson from NJW Commerical said she had a local buyer interested in the site, who had already made an offer. “They want to use the property for their commercial business. The site’s historically contaminated as most fuel sites are but the potential purchaser wanted to buy it with no interest in disturbing the contamination, therefore it was a great deal for United.” Ms Watkinson said she “took them a cash offer”, which they couldn’t accept because of a lease arrangement. “Fulton Hogan are leasing that part of the site from them for holding purposes while that work (roadworks) are finished off over there. So they didn’t want to disturb that arrangement,” she said. Ms Watkinson said the local person was still interested in buying the site but there had been some back and forth over the asking price but was concerned about the state of the building. “I hope council can support this happening soon and say to the current owner ‘look the building is dilapidated and if you don’t sell it we are going to be a position where we require you to repair it’,” she said.

SHAKESPEARE AND HATHAWAY

ABC, 7.30pm

Season three of TV’s cheeriest murder mystery winds up tonight with a cracking episode guest-starring EastEnders icon Tamzin Outhwaite as Jessica, a single mum with high expectations for her teenage kids. While her daughter Isabella (Hannah Saxby) has been accepted into Oxford, son Charlie (Gus Barry) hasn’t reached the same dizzying academic heights. Snooping through Charlie’s phone, she suspects he has committed a crime, and comes to Frank (Mark Benton, above right) and Lu (Jo Joyner, above left) for answers. Without any evidence of what crime Charlie could possibly be involved in, the private detectives start tailing the teen.

Short and sweet, just like any holiday romance, another season of Bachelor in Paradise is coming to an end. Under the eye of host Osher Günsberg (pictured), these former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants have been testing the waters with each other. Now that no new suitors will be joining the group, only those who have found a love connection remain. It’s time for them to decide whether the relationships they’ve formed have what it takes to make it in the real world. What better way to find out than introducing their new partner to their family? For some, the scrutiny of their nearest and dearest could spell disaster.

MURDOCH MYSTERIES

7TWO, 8.30pm

When the Madison’s Fine Beef Culinary Challenge comes to Toronto, it quickly becomes clear that, despite the presence of an insult-hurling celebrity judge (cheekily named Randall Gordon in a not-particularly-subtle nod to Gordon Ramsay), the sponsored cooking contest is no MasterChef. When the judge suddenly feels faint and is found to have come down with botulism, Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson, pictured) suspects an intentional poisoning has taken place. However, as he tries to uncover any possible suspects who stand to benefit from the crime, it’s revealed that the judge wasn’t the only one who ate from the tainted dish – everyone did, including Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Margaret Brackenreid (Arwen Humphreys) – and several lives are now on the line. 3107
