Vandals attack toilets at Springfield

Significant vandalism of the public toilets in Terry Oval, Springfield, have forced Central Coast Council to close the public amenities.

“This senseless vandalism, during the school holiday period, has forced the full closure of these toilets, including disabled toilets,” Council said.
 
The vandalism included smashing all toilet bowls with large rocks, ripping sinks off the wall and smashing plumbing.   “These mindless attacks cost rate payers money, Council staff time and disrupt the availability of these facilities for public and visitors on the Coast,” Council said.
 
“The cost of repairing these facilities will be approximately $10,000, with repair works commencing shortly, and hopefully completed by mid-May.”
 
Council is asking the community to help apprehend the vandals by reporting any anti-social behaviour or vandalism they witness to Police Crime Stopper by calling 1800 333 000 or online https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Crimes in progress should be reported to Police by calling 000 (triple zero).
 
Community members can also report to Council damage to public toilets, sports facilities, community recreation spaces and facilities by calling Council’s Customer Service on 4309 7900, or via Council’s online customer service centre.
