No WestConnex mid-point tunnel site in Leichhardt

Sign our letter telling the Minister for WestConnex we don't want a damaging and dangerous tunnel site in Leichhardt.

For more details about the proposed mid point tunnel site, please go to http://www.jamieparker.org/tunnel.

Dear Minister

As a member of the local community I believe that the previously proposed Darley Road site is patently unacceptable as a mid point tunnel location for WestConnex.

This mid point tunnel excavation site will remain for up to four years, with significant traffic and safety impacts both on residents and people across the inner west region.

Residents of Leichhardt do not want a drill site. We are highly concerned about the traffic and safety impacts both on local residents and people across the Inner West region. We therefore call on you to cancel any plans to drill at the Darley Road site in Leichhardt. 

This is yet another example of the kind of planning on the run which has been characteristic of the flawed WestConnex project since the start, and one more reason why it should be abandoned.

Yours sincerely,

    Anyone who knows the area knows this proposal makes no sense for the quality of people living in the area.

    Please do not put school children’s health at risk and clog up local streets with noisy, polluting and dangerous construction vehicles. If you must dig a tunnel, do it from the portal ends!

    I read with alarm the article in the SMH on 27th February that the Sydney Motorway Corporation is considering locating a WestConnex dive site between the Sydney Secondary College Leichhardt Campus, and Sydney Buses’ Leichhardt Depot on Derbyshire Rd Leichhardt. The reason that this site is being considered is that it will be a cheaper option than the alternative site on Darley Rd that is currently occupied by the newly opened Dan Murphy’s bottle shop. This demonstrates the complete disregard for the students at Sydney Secondary College as well as road users navigating the already crowed thoroughfares in that area. It also begs the question of whether Dan Murphy successfully lobbied the Government to consider the new location for the dive site.

    These proposed drill sites show the complete disregard, by WestConnex, and the government for the local community and the education of our children at our public schools.
