Hi Jane I live in Lower Trill Road, last year festival really upset me, firstly all the road are closed. ok, so that mean I cannot get to the Spar, then I get home, as you know, we live in houses without garages. I cant park in front of my house, finally I get parking and somebody take something sharp and scrapes my car from 1 side to the other, that not all, they then bump the side back of my car," big dent". as people are parking illegally, let not mention all the litter and bottles left in the street. I have been living in OBS FOR 4 years now and I have to say in all honestly, I really dont enjoy the Obs Festival. Something will have to be done about the parking this year. I pay rent and I can park my car in front of my house. please. So I would love to hear what they have to say...."the organizers of the obs fest" thanks Natasha

Or is it just going to become a permanent fixture? I think it was a lousy idea to put it up in the first place considering all the problems we already have with graffiti in our suburb and would like to see it gone. Over the festive season I read two things in the papers which suggested it's a foregone conclusion that Obs Fest will be taking place again in 2009. Is this really the case? What about the feelings of the residents? The organiser of the event said there are plans to move the live music component down to Hartleyvale. As a resident who lives in the area I'd be very opposed to this, as I'm sure would most of my neighbours. Still not sure who exactly it is that benefits from this annual event. Nevertheless it seems as though the organiser has BIG plans for the next few years. In the interview he said he'd like to see the Obs Fest growing till it's on a par with London's Notting Hill Gate carnival. Is our suburb really equipped to handle this - and is it really what residents want based on the grime and crime that the 2008 fest brought to our suburb?
