Dear All, I do not know if you are all aware but there was an incident at Peoples Park Tuesday 22nd January 2008 were a woman was needlessly "assaulted" at around 9.15pm. I am sure that you are all aware of the huge effort that has been made by the City Council in improving the Park and I think we can all agree that they have done a wonderful job. However it is unfortunate there is no decent lighting or security in place at the Park once darkness falls. I would like to see the Park as a safe place for people at anytime and I know that better quality lighting and security would ensure this. If there are no immediate improvements made we run the risk of allowing Peoples Park to become an area were incidents like this may become more frequent. If I have your support, I would be delighted if you would put your name on this petition which I have attached and forward this mail to any of your friends who live in the Waterford locality. I would hope to get 1000 names before I forward it to the City Council. Please log in to the petition website, your support will be gratefully appreciated. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/peoplespark 2008 Yours faithfully, Joanie Hutchinson

RIDICULOUS that we spent all that money on landscaping just to have it be a no go zone once the sun goes down. put some cameras in.

Used to love taking a shortcut through the park but not anymore. Seems like a magnet for trouble now. Sort it out.

Too many strange people hanging around late at night. Keep our parks safe for families!! Enough is enough.
