So after careful thought and consideration and with discussions with local Councillors, community members, NSW TWU officials, great local officials from Hon. Edmond Atalla's Office and NSW Law Access, I am launching the 'Mount Druitt" and surrounding suburbs '100% air-conditioned buses and trains required' Petition.
This petition, will be supported by a local group, 'Mount Druitt Commuters Improvement Group Inc.', 'Whyilovemountdruitt' Blogspot and Face Book Group, NSW Transport Workers Union (TWU), Counillor Carol Israel, Brad Bunting, Blacktown City Councillors, A former Blacktown City Councillor, Blacktown City Council Transport/Traffic Department, Hon. Edmond Atalla, NSW State Member of Mount Druitt, Mount Druitt Standard and with the huge favourable support from within our local community members as well.
Once we have more people that want to stake their claim for support, I will update our community.
Whilst in one local Face Book Group, there appears an old attitude of "Nothing will happen as they don't care of Mount Druitt", I always remind people of what happened in 2009-2010 when we had 3 bus services removed from our very own area.
The perception and mood of the time was the same. Yet with the support from within our then group,"Save Our Bus Services, Mount Druitt & Surrounding Suburbs' and my idol from the group and loal Legend Joan Forrester, our group achieved local history.
Never in Mount Druitt history was anything achieved to return not 1 but 2 major bus services to our Mount Druitt community. People rallied and people cheered and most importantly people were happy.
Petition Day will be held in the future and you will see myself around seeking thousands of local community members to sign this petition as we raise 10,000 signatures. Should any community members print off these petition copies, please note they must be hand delivered completed to the Hon Edmond Atalla, NSW State Member of Mount Druitt Atalla Office details:
Suite 201,
Westfield Shopping Town
Carlisle Avenue
Mount Druitt MSW 2770
If the signed petition is not completed correctly, then that signature will not count. It is important to check that the name is in full (Not just initialled), address is completed and is signed correctly.
We will need at least 10,000 signatures before it can be referred to NSW Parliament, so every signature we get will be one closer reaching that goal.
This is up to our community to take this relevant action on this issue as soon as possible and not let it drag on.
