Let the community decide

Join our Campaign to bring back our local councils!

Dear NSW Parliament,

We call on every NSW MP to commit to legislation that allows residents to vote in a binding de-merger plebiscite in any council that has been forced to merge by the Baird Government.

If a majority of residents support their council standing alone, then the law must provide for a council to be reinstated and a de-merger to occur at the soon as possible.

We make this demand because we believe that the community -- residents and local businesses-- not Mike Baird,  should decide the future of their local councils.

    It’s despicable that councils that are working well such as inner city, Sydney and Wollongong Council should be treated in such an undemocratic way.

    As premier, Mr Baird is our representative. I don’t know anyone he represents.

    I think it is scandalous our elected councils have been dismissed and for political reasons no elections till 2017.

    This is just another example of the Baird Governments destruction of the inners city way of life & councils so he can more easily sell off as much as possible to fund the pork barrelling of western Sydney.

    Culture is what people do. Bigger is not better unless it can be logically not politically justified. Domocracy has been left out of the process!

    I object to the coup. It can only be seen as a cynical move to deny us our voice in our affairs.
