We
live in a Blacktown City, where proper accessible footpaths have
not been properly provided to a vital part of the Mount Druitt
community. It goes without saying that the more there
are accessible footpaths the more people will walk, jog and run.
East of Meacher Street, right side no pathway! |
East Of Meacher Street Left side to Moorehead Avenue |
In a seemingly well developed North Mount Druitt
community, there seemed to be a neglect in planning to provide to the community 2 sided accessible concrete footpaths. This is probably because we do not have a local Councillor of Blacktown City Council living in this part of the Council and Ward.
Moorehead Avenue facing North Left no pathways! |
Moorehead Avenue South no pathways to a park |
Headcorn Street, left showing no pathways! |
Moorehead Avenue Facing South, no pathways and deterioration of soil, block of units in front. |
After doing a tour around the area, you will see how the community would greatly benefit from this proper access, that the community requires.
Below
is O'Brien Street, Mount Druitt with one-sided footpaths and the other
side has patches of grass to walk on. How dangerous this can be if
community members fall over and have accidents

Cavallaro Crescent, Mount Druitt, requires both sides of this short street, to be improved with concrete foot paths. This also cuts down duel emissions from lawn mowers, easy access to the community sense of community pride and most importantly, added value to all properties in this area.
West of O'Brien Street |
Here is the western End of Meacher Street - Left side. - you will note that some community members use the front of their properties as small dumping grounds. If a footpath is in place, there is reduced chances of this happening and there is a better community that uses footpaths to get to places.

Here is Meacher Street, North Mount Druitt where it is distinctly clear that there is one side of the road undeveloped footpaths needing proper improvements in path ways infrastructure (right picture below) and Corner of Notley & Meacher Streets North Mount Druitt with overgrown grass overgrown a few months ago (middle picture).
The
corner of Methven and Earl Streets, it shows it is quite clear that a
major park called 'William Mason Reserve' does a have footpath leading
to both ends of Methven Street Mount Druitt. (left picture). This is
something that I find quite daunting that up until now, there has been
little or no improvements, to assist the North Mount Druitt community.
By this time the local government authorities and stake holders make a
decision for these important improvements, once this decision is made it
will be left up to them to ensure work in progress is not years
behind.
How can Blacktown Local Environmental Plan progress unless their is progress of major improvements in these footpaths?
