The Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman presented her concerns at a city council meeting about freedom campers leaving rubbish behind and defecating in the sand dunes. A city council spokesperson said the council has received 20 fewer complaints about freedom campers around Thomson Park and North Beach compared to last summer. The spokesperson said 15 fines had been handed out to freedom campers parked along Marine Pde this summer, but could not say if this was more or less than last summer. However, Ms Money said there continued to be a number of freedom campers without selfcontained vehicles parking in the North Beach and Thomson Park car parks. •Turn to page 7 BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
