Follow up on letters about Warwick parks

Staff Reports

In recent editions, our newspapers have reported on the structures and park materials removed in six Warwick parks.

Southern Downs Regional Council had advised, via press releases and some social media avenues, that unsafe playground equipment would be removed from May 16. Our newspaper printed that information.

As prompted by readers who hadn't been aware of those notifications and are not users of social media, our newspaper company also asked Council if they might have considered a "letter box drop" to those suburban streets before such removal. This was also because the majority of locals whose homes share a fence with the parks, had been unaware of the removal and as such were "alarmed at the somewhat unexpected sight".
