The forum came about after the Advertiser reported in October last year, that residents living near Greta Central Park had been living in fear – dealing with burnouts, speeding and dangerous driving on the park grounds as well as through neigbouring streets.
Residents claimed they had been dealing with the problem for years and also said they were left feeling frustrated with a perceived lack of action by police.
Speaking to the Advertiser at the time, Hunter Valley Police District Commander, Superintendent Chad Gillies, said that he took a no-tolerance approach to such behaviour.
“The last thing you need is people driving cars dangerously and having to deal with criminal activity including malicious damage of the fields,” Superintendent Gillies said.
The community forum will be held at Greta Workers Club on Wednesday 20 February from 5.30pm.
