THEY’VE done it again: Vandals have damaged the public artwork at Ellesmere Reserve.
Near-neighbour Bob Kucera called the Voice reporting the artwork—IMAG_NE by Emma Anna—was vandalised Friday night.
“It’s become quite a feature in the area and it’s disappointing to see some low-life cretin come along and do something like that to it,” the former Labor MP said.
“You couldn’t even call them a halfwit. It’d take two of them to make a halfwit.”
“You couldn’t even call them a halfwit. It’d take two of them to make a halfwit.”
Mr Kucera says he doesn’t object to the nearby Charles Hotel and supports its live music nights, but he suggests it could keep a closer eye on its patrons when they leave as trouble seems to start when the pub closes.
We ran that past Chris Angelokov from the Charles Hotel, who said it was ridiculous to claim the pub’s departing patrons had anything to do with the vandalism.
“On the weekend I had Brian Cadd and Glen Shorrock on and the average age of my customers was about 58,” Mr Angelokov says. “Who in this age group would go across and vandalise the park? They were mature and well-behaved people…”
It cost upwards of $1000 to repair and reinforce the work last time vandals pulled off one of its letters.
