Footpath Safety
All the footpaths throughout the Strathfield Council area have been inspected and photographed for their condition rating.
Resources are then able to be allocated to the worst areas first to ensure the footpaths are safe for our community to use .
Footpaths in Cotswold Ave, Bareena St and Hedges Ave have recently been repaired.
Throwback Thursday
Kessell Square
Kessell Square is a small neighbourhood park located opposite St Patrick’s College. It became a reserve in 1923 during the subdivision of Strathfield Estate. It was named after Arthur Kessell who was Mayor in 1919-1920.
