Youth to the forefront on Penrith Graffiti removal

Providing a wonderful example to Penrith’s adult community, some twenty members of 323 Squadron Australian Air Force Cadets rolled their sleeves up and took down a major Graffiti vandalism site in Emu Plains on Graffiti Removal Day.

October 26 was the third official Graffiti Removal Day organised and delivered by Rotary Down Under in partnership with the NSW State Government and more than 50 Local Government Councils.

Repeated calls for community volunteers to assist with graffiti removal on the day produced an almost nil result. Thankfully, 323 Squadron Air Force Cadets under the leadership of Commanding Officer Doug DeCean heard the call and provided the necessary ‘muscle’ for the cleanup job at a major site in Forbes Street, Emu Plains.
