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.

    How can a local council be local when the new amalgamated area is covered by three state members areas Balmain, Newtown and Summerhill but also larger than the Federal area of Grayndler.

    It’s a disgraceful situation. I’m really worried about what will happen with WestConnex and the Bays Precinct

    We’re supposed to be living in a democracy. I hope people show Mike Baird that they disagree with his undemocratic methods.
