One Day To Go!

Hello everyone and Happy Day Before Election Day!!!

Well, the campaign’s been short and sharp – and tomorrow’s the big day. Here’s hoping for a huge vote for new ideas and a fresh approach.
We’ve run this campaign on issues that are important to making this a stronger and more inspired community. That’s what this election is all about – getting a council that has both the vision to build a wonderful community and the know-how to make responsible decisions in everyone’s best interests.
I am so excited at the prospect of representing you on Council. I firmly believe that our Save Our Suburbs team has what it takes to make a real difference and, as we’ve been saying, put knowledge before politics.
Save Our Suburbs Warringah arose from the frustration our community has felt over the issues surrounding John Fisher Park. Local residents have been sidelined on the JFP netball debate for too long – by both the dysfunctional previous Council and the Administrator. This has got to stop.
Be confident that it is not too late. The Administrator’s plan for JFP hasn’t been implemented yet and the new council is in a position to stop it until a proper solution is found – one that is inclusive of everyone, not just sports users.
JFP is just the start. There are new issues on the horizon all the time. Dee Why Town Centre is a great case in point – but also here in B-Ward we have the current proposal for a huge development by Harbord Diggers Club on the Curl Curl/Freshwater Headland.
There’s a lot for the new council to do. It is absolutely imperative we elect people who will not bow to special interests. We deserve a council which will make decisions for the whole community.
Here’s to a great outcome tomorrow.
