Rozelle Against WestConnex footbridge protest

Congratulations to Rozelle Against WestConnex who braved the rain to mount a protest on the footbridge over Victoria Road at Lilyfield Road on Saturday.

Passionate local community members turned out in the rain this weekend for a footbridge protest. No doubt had the weather been kinder they could easily have doubled that number. The response from passing motorists was even more encouraging than the last event, with many waving & well over 1,000 drivers honking in support. Over the 2 hour period only four drivers indicated their displeasure at their presence.

If you'd like to join the next protest, follow No WestConnex on Facebook or keep an eye on the RAW website.

This is a great way to raise awareness on this important issue. I’ll be there rain or shine!

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.
