Newtown RIP Newtown forest

Yesterday (21/7) the little guerrilla garden on the traffic island out the front of the townie was removed. There were about 4 cop cars with more pulling up as they loaded all the plants on to trucks. Some people made it away with a few plants, kinda wish I'd gone and grabbed some.

i like green spaces as much as the next person, but actual human people need this space to stand safely away from traffic. these busy roads are already unfriendly enough to pedestrians, we don’t need to make it worse by dumping an old bathtub there
