As of yesterday, we have received a response from a Blacktown Council Officer advising that the Westfield Car Park Shade Cloths issue (Click here for previous blog), has been quoted a 'not public issue'. Well if it is a private issue , there is hundreds of private people that could be affected.
This would be especially 'public' if the NSW Health or local General Practitioners , would have to get involved and dust from the shade cloths drop onto 'the public'.
Whilst we have total respect for the Councillor Officer or other Council Officers to find it difficult to deal with these type of issue, it is so pleasing they are the ones referring to the appropriate authorities. We do not want Council to be blind to these issues although it is on private property, which affects the public.
Maybe some community members would not realise the potential immediate health risk with these cloths, but it appears it is not regularly, washed or cleaned, or even replaced! If a lot of public had health issues from these shade cloth it, is it called 'a private issue'?
