LIKE Tim Roberts, ("Finish one job before starting on the next", Letters, 6/1), I encourage City of Newcastle to look after assets we already have rather than spend money on new projects like the reconstruction of Foreshore Park.
The council does a good job with its gardens of annuals in Civic Park and Christie Park. They are their best right now. I also like the council's efforts to establish dry-land planter boxes, street trees, and gardens along footpaths and nature strips, but these facilities are often in dire need of maintenance. Money diverted from the proposed Foreshore Park rebuild to a simple replanting of trees removed from Foreshore Park for Supercars, and to the maintenance of existing gardens, would be a better option.
