GRASS up to two metres high on a neglected Inglewood block has been slashed by good Samaritan neighbour Trevor Ralph.
Frustrated by the fire and snake danger of long grass in front of the historic former police cells in Grant Street North, Trevor last Thursday took action.
“I reckon it’s at least five years since the grass was cut on the block. The grass has become quite high and dried out fast in recent weeks,” he said. “And there’s the risk of snakes as well.”
Mr Ralph said he was unsure who was responsible for maintaining the block between the post office and police station.
“But no matter who it is, we can’t have a fire risk going unchecked at this time of year,” Mr Ralph said.
The old police lock-up was built in 1869 and last used in 1964. The building formed part of the police camp but its state of disrepair is worsening, according to Mr Ralph.
