Lack of site security major Rachel Forster meeting concerns
One of the major issues to emerge from the Rachel Forster meeting on 16 June 2012 was the ongoing lack of security on the site. Residents reported that people had often been seen in the abandoned building and it was still possible to access the site. Residents said that they had seen material such as copper being stolen from the building and other activity which had resulted in material including asbestos being thrown from the site. There was concern that as the redevelopment of the site was still some way off that this issue needed to be addressed to ensure these problems did not continue and that the chance of a fire on the site was minimised. The developer said he visited the site weekly and did drive-bys more frequently however local residents said much more needed to be done to secure the site. The facilitator from ABC Planning said the issue would be addressed.
