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.

    Please return democratic rights to the Inner West and let us vote. Baird has no elected mandate to “decide” to destroy democracy.

    Having a voice at local level is not only a right, but an essential part of community living for everyone’s interests and wellbeing.

    Democratic rights have been sacked and dictatorial administration inserted.
