Parker campaigns to save Glebe police station

Greens MP Jamie Parker has welcomed the withdrawal by NSW Police of the controversial development application for a "super police station” in Derbyshire Rd, Leichhardt.

"

"This is a positive step forward. This development would have meant the sale of Glebe police station. We now have the opportunity to save Glebe police station and improve important police services for our community.

"The police do great work within our community, often with limited resources and under significant pressure.

"We need to retain police services in our community and improve their resources rather than centralising services into poorly planned super stations which have significant negative impacts.

"This is an opportunity for proper community consultation to occur. We must ensure that any new police station will be appropriately designed and located and will not result in the removal of vital community police services," said Mr Parker.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
