Attwood police patrols

Mr ONDARCHIE (Northern Metropolitan) (17:39): (2013) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Police. The people of Attwood are concerned about the antisocial behaviour and the illegal dumping of rubbish in their suburb. I recently invited the people of Attwood to complete a community survey.

Mr Finn: Did you have a survey?

Mr ONDARCHIE: I did. I thank the many, many people that responded to my survey, and they are very grateful that a member of Parliament asked them what is important to them. They are very grateful.

Attwood is such a diverse and wonderful community. They have great reserves and parks and places that residents want to feel safe in. The action I seek from the minister is for the government to commit to extra police patrols in the Attwood area to deter antisocial behaviour and the illegal dumping of rubbish near Cambridge Gardens, along Haddon Hall Drive and the Moonee Ponds Creek reserves and along Stonebridge Way and Chisholm Avenue. Attwood residents really care for their suburb, and they deserve a cleaner and safer environment in which to raise their families.
