The Editor,
We have lived in Port Coquitlam’s Citadel Heights subdivision for 15 years. Beautiful community, nice houses all well kept, gardens galore, great neighbours.
The vandals have now decided this is their new target and we are victims of these idiots who have now taken to attacking our beautiful community.
Citadel Park on Citadel Drive is a lovely, quiet little park, nicely landscaped with a perfectly placed small gazebo where you could relax and unwind.
Not anymore.
The vandalism started a few weeks back with garbage strewn everywhere. Next, broken wine bottles and beer cans. Then, more garbage and feces on the benches, which PoCo parks staff has since removed. Next, these terrors have taken to burning the lattice work in the gazebo and, today, further fires and grease strewn all throughout the gazebo landing and supports.
If the parents of these goons read this, I would hope they come to the rescue and lock these terrors up that are now ruining our neighbourhood.
I’m sure the city’s next steps will be removing the gazebo so none of the fine people in the area can use it anymore.
R. Parkinson, Port Coquitlam
