History In The Making

9/10/2017

1 Comment

 
The new Northern Beaches Council is up and running, with independent councillors in the driving seat.

Of the 15 councillors elected, six are from Michael Regan’s Your Northern Beaches independent team. There are five Liberals - one from each of the five wards - and one Greens councillor. The rest are independents, including Good For Manly President Candy Bingham. 

The first meeting elected Cr Regan as Mayor and Cr Bingham as Deputy, strengthening the council’s independent credentials. ​

“I’m thrilled to be elected deputy,” Cr Bingham said.  “What an honour! It will be a lot of work, but I believe this council will really be able to make a difference for the whole Northern Beaches area. And Manly will  have a strong voice at the table.”

She said the impressive showing by independents in “Liberal heartland” showed that voters did not want major political parties in local government, preferring representatives whose allegiance to the community was not complicated by their political affiliation. 

“But despite having different political backgrounds I’m very hopeful that this council will  work well together,”  Cr Bingham said.  

“The Manly Ward Councillors - myself,  Sarah Grattan from Your Northern  Beaches, and Liberal councillor Pat Daley - are already working as a team to have a look at the off-leash “dog park” situation for  dog owners and other residents, and to improve the look of The Corso.

"And as a council our priorities include dealing with our parking problems, and improving the state of public amenities, such as toilets."

Hi Candy, it seems only yesterday when the drawn - out debacle of the Corso upgrade under Henry Wong was occuring.
Is it really necessary figuritively speaking, to keep buying new clothes, new shoes, creating waste by following fashion?
Surely the Corso doesn't need changeing? Please investigate how it can be cleaned, not changed (with the accompanying waste generation which goes with so-called improvements).
Yours
Keelah Lam
