Minchinbury Community Member 'Kerry' Stands Up For Community!

Yesterday, I met an independent community member that has been providing  wonderful improvements for the Minchinbury community. In our current day of age, it is hard to find people that take an individual stand for making improvements for their own community.They do it voluntary and because they have the passion to care for the community, which is damned important. Others will take a back step, yet take their hat off to them, once they know there is a win for the community.

Although, I was asked to sign a petition to 'Save Mount Druitt Pool', I reserved my right to do that, yesterday. I have personally walked past Mount Druitt Swimming Pool, to see it not fulfilled to capacity.It appears to be minimal swimmers there enjoying each day.

My understanding from an engineering report provided to Council last year, that under the former Labor held Administration, maintenance on old pipes had been been looked at and to replaced these pipes would cost a fortune.  I am not a person that thinks people should not have proper community amenities, it is just within a radius of 3 kilometers there is/was three pools to attend too of recently: Emerton, Mount Druitt and Sydney Gymnastic Aquatic Centre.

When you have a former Federal Member of Chifley's son, Ben Price selling a new development of units, right opposite the Mount Druitt Pool, I'm sure he would take up the opportunity of selling the land at the Mount Druitt Pool to provide more high rise medium housing!

Kerry respects my position and I respect hers! She has advocated for park improvements in  her Minchinbury suburb community over 10 years ago and demonstrates a  that special community spirit to bring the best improvements into the area.

We both agree that Mount Druitt needs to be brightened up, with bright painted/design colors in Dawson Mall. Kerry is interested in  a rapid transit bus service from Penrith to Parramatta. This would be stopping at Mount Druitt and Blacktown along the Great Western Highway, with  a commuter car park at every bus suburb stop, for community members to park their cars. At the bus commuter car park this will be promoting more people traveling by public transport. She  also believes in less modes of public transport to get you from one destination to get to your destination. Another suggestion is to have bus lanes along the Great Western Highway! She has got my support on this matter.

We need more people like Kerry to stand up for each community and be the voice for 'People Power'! I am further inspired with the  work she has done so far!
