Further Proof That 'No' To Blacktown City Council Merging!

Following on the 'No' from myself for Blacktown Merging
 with other other Councils, further figures have been made to support this 'No'

1st Merges Savings of Councillors & Wards
Woollahra                                 15            5
Randwick                                  15            5 
Botany                                        7             6
Waverley                                   12            4                      
Total:                                          49           21

Sydney City population           10            1

2nd Merges:
Lane Cove                                   9            3
Mosman                                      7             1
Manly                                          9             1
Waringah                                    9             3
Willoughby                                12            4                         
Total                                           35           12

So, if the Premier of NSW wants Council's to amalgamate/merge with others they can start cutting Councillors and Wards from inner city, north and south east Sydney Councils. Personally if we had Population of Councils would be 40,000 - in our area we would have 8  or more Local Government Area's within our area. The areas could be Mount Druitt,  Rooty Hill, Doonside, Riverstone, Seven Hills, Blacktown, Stanhope Gardens, Plumpton.

I thought as population grows, we need more food and water, more housing, education, medical services, more shopping hubs and more local government areas, to make more decisions for the area to cater for growth. We should not go backwards when the population is going forward.
