Why I Love Mount Druitt Year In Review For 2015!

Well this is the first full year that 'whyilovemountdruitt blogspot' has been active, as it was created 19th February 2014. 2014 was a slow year for  visits to website as it was just a 'virgin' website getting out to the general community. 2015 proved that community members are reading, checking and providing  feedback that is complimentary, positive for stalk holders and received very few criticism against some blogs.

The compliments received don't go to myself they go out to the wider Mount Druitt community. So many people that I have spoken to, so many people that provide ideas for improvements, so many people finding this Website educational for both adults and children. This website keeps the community in touch with things that they may not realise is vital in maintaining or improving, or understanding the politics within the area: Local, State and then Federal (in that order). For the local press, this is not a news website, it is an community information website that gets people interacting with each other and gets people talking about it. Any relevant comments are referred to stake holders for immediate attention.

In relation to any criticism received, it is not taken personally because I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as long it is genuine and it is their belief. Yet, sometimes with criticisms, I can improve myself as I am not perfect. And I have done. I also find that with received criticism, relationship can change for better understanding. There need not be any fights or wars over criticism, points views are important and need to be told. I have released comments that provide these views, allowing the general wider community fairness in  discussing issues!

So the general highlights this year on figures is astonishing: record number of published blogs for the month and year, record number of visits for  month and year and also record number of comments month and year:

2015 Record number of published blogs (month): 
          70  in March 2015

In summary for the year we have had candidates from both NSW State Seats of Mount Druitt and Londonderry tell us why they love Mount Druitt, phase walkway/pedestrian approved on eastern side of Luxford Road intersection entrance to Westfield approved by NSW Roads and Maritime Services, Public Transport improvements submissions passed and referred by Council.

We have had also had railings installed by Blacktown City Council, where they was previously a fall, there have been many community issues raised and resolved, community members giving us ideas for community improvements, more songs from the Blacktown City Brass Band. Also, we were updating other Mount Druitt Face Book groups with important blogs and have 'Blog of the Week'  on our Face Book group!

Mount Druitt Town Rangers notified us of their clubs and matches, that they wanted us to notify the community. This is  just a brief summary because there is so much to say, not enough to say in one  blog. So if you haven't read these blogs search and read them. And there is more.

In the mean time we thank everyone that reads these important blogs, provides comments or even talks to myself on streets and trains, getting the messages out there!
