stuarty Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Great News. Hope they get on with "redeveloping" the area into a public park, and take down the walls and "private property" signs at the roadside etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useronthenet Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Still no word on pursuing the administrators that instigated all these encroachments. Or do they all go scot free with their millions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good news, and by the way what's happened at Paradise beach? What astounds me too is the illegal vendors themselves seem to avoid criminal charges for operating on public land? Free to go?
