Hi Folks,

Somebody has been vandalizing the new play area at Dover Beach park. Over the past 4 monts, they have knocked down 3 fence panels from around the play area.

The vandals also beat up the trash can and removed its wheels so it won't stand up anymore and trash goes everywhere; I called about this as well but to no avail.  I just posted a report to Seeclickfix about this problem.…

I was really upset by an article in this week's New Haven Advocate (June 3) that describes our neighborhood in a very negative light.

Hi all,

I just posted a request for more trash bins in the park at SEECLICKFIX. I participated in a neighborhood cleanup last Saturday, and part of the problem is there are no bins for folks to put trash esp. at the southern end of the park. Pleaes go to SEECLICKFIX and add your name to my request. Maybe if more people ask for this, we will finally get bins

Thanks

Christel
