HERE we go again; poor little Jocko, pictured, is copping it once more in Maitland ('Heritage bid not black and white, Newcastle Herald 25/7). For 150 years this dear little fellow has stood guard over all that has happened in the city. There would not be a child in town who hasn't greeted him over the years. I know I have in my 80 years.
Now we have the perpetually insulted wanting Jocko gone when he has been a city icon for all the years, but I do notice he is no longer on council correspondence. Why? Leave the little fellow alone, he is Maitland.
