Tacky Brunswick Street West has been singled out for special criticism in an ongoing campaign by local councillor David Hinchliffe (Central Ward) for a cleaner Fortitude Valley.
Cr Hinchliffe, convenor of the Greener, Cleaner, Prouder Valley campaign being run through the pages of The Independent, implored Brunswick Street West property owners in an open letter to “please do the right thing – by the community of the Valley and by yourselves!”.
Cr Hinchliffe wrote: “The Valley has so much potential, but it is often badly let down by the poor state of buildings in private ownership. ”As owners of property in this area, you must realise that for the thousands of people who enter the Valley every day via the Valley train station, this is their introduction to the Valley. ”It’s time to lift your game. We want people to be proud of our Valley. We want a greener, cleaner, prouder future for the area.
“If civic pride isn't a major motivation for you, then at least take account of the improved value of your property asset. A green, cleaner, prouder Valley will also be a more prosperous and profitable Valley.”
