OPINION: “Can’t we do better than broken up parks and fix these things so our children can play safely?”

“To the city of New Bedford:

Can’t we do better than broken up parks and fix these things so our children can play safely? The clear bubbles you’re supposed to see through are gone. The ABC music bells haven’t made any noise except for a clunk for as long as I can remember.

The screws are missing off of things that can just be swung on with. They can hurt someone. I’m just trying to maybe spread some awareness about it. Maybe if I get enough people to comment on here or a petition or something to show we want to make a difference.

It won’t change unless we all come together as a community and show that we actually care about these things. We can do better than this – our community has so much potential ❤️❤️❤️ #togetherasacommunity.” -Brooke Hathaway.
