Hello everyone
With the demolition of the stands at Lancaster Park there has been a noticeable or not-so-noticeable activity going on.That lovely green fence put up around the park doesn't actually keep people out, it just provides cover for those getting into the park as they cannot be seen from the road. So if you are in Lismore St during the weekend you may see the culprits cars parked along the wire fence. Perhaps getting a rego number would be a good idea and pass it to the Council
