The one important thing that I think is important is community engagement. What does this mean? This means our Mount Druitt community are reading blogs, placing comments and talking about issues raised, creating such interest and 'Dinner Table Talk Topics'. This blogspot gets all our Local, State and Federal politicians placing actions on immediate improvements, and places topics for talk at Council table meetings, discussions with State and Federal governments. Our Local press have been contacting myself for important improvement stories so far on: safety on Cyclists, Opal Card, more accessible buses and the recent storm damages at Westfield Mount Druitt.It isn't may stories raised in their eyes for 2 years yet, it is stories they are interested on and they have my permission to publish any blogs on their newspapers, immediately as I have published them.
The general community is where we get the ideas for community improvements as I speak to them and also from our face book group as well (which has a small growing membership).
So we have had improvements of small holes in the ground covered, new share footpaths and new railings preventing potential falls on high ground pathways. To come is many more improvements including the completing of pedestrian crossing/ phase walkway, east end of Luxford Road, entrance to Coles Mount Druitt and more Non-smoking signs been placed up as well as checks to ensure people are non-smoking in the right areas!
So, the question is not is 'whyilovemountdruitt' successful in getting improvements, as we know it is. The question is, 'How quick will community improvements that are approved take and then be completed, once posts are published?
