Comments From Mayor Councillor, Stephen Bali On Support for 'No' On Change Of Name 'Blacktown City Council'!

Response from Mayor, Stephen Bali on 'No' support for Change of Blacktown City Council name referendum (email received):

Stephen Bali <Stephen.Bali@blacktown.nsw.gov.au>   09:07 (21 minutes ago)   Hi John, Thanks for links. Well said John. We should be focusing on real issues that affect residents of Blacktown City. My team of Councillors will not be diverted from important issues by focusing on this irrelevant divisive name change issue. Last council meeting, apart from the name change issue, we approved many great new initiatives.  These included a new Hall of Fame for our brightest and best residents so as to inspire the next generation; new council procurement policy to provide additional weighting to local Blacktown City businesses when tendering; important fitness initiatives; new mini-train for Nurragingy Reserve; improvements to the Workers Memorial; environmental recognition program for businesses; continuing the improvements to Council run childcare centres etc etc So please rest assure that whilst some Councillors want to talk about a name change, as Mayor, I will continue to strive to improve our services and develop new initiatives for our Great Blacktown City! Stephen Bali Mayor BLACKTOWN City
