City of Newcastle (CN) is appealing for information about the removal of more than 35 items of aluminium street furniture from a CN storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The picnic tables and chairs were being stored at a Shortland site after being temporarily removed from Foreshore Park and the surrounding precinct for the duration of the Newcastle 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work crews were due to collect and re-install the street furniture in their original locations around Newcastle Beach, Nobbys Beach and Foreshore Park last week as part of the Newcastle 500 bump-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The apparent theft of the items, which would have required several truckloads to remove, has been reported to Police, and CN is working closely with them to identify those responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CN will work towards replacing the furniture as soon as possible, however it is incredibly disappointing that this theft will come at a cost to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of the aluminium furniture or their removal should contact Crime Stoppers on 131-444.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
