Cr Matthew Blackmore, Mayor of Strathfield
Although we had some rain this week, the Strathfield Spring Festival still went ahead on a smaller scale.
Thanks to all staff who put the event together and stall holders who showed up on the day, we look forward to better weather next year.
At Council this week, we resolved to commence heritage restoration works to our Town Hall and repair damage caused by heavy rains this year. These works will be completed in time for the 100th Anniversary of the Town Hall next year.
If you need assistance with any local issue, please contact me on 0406 099 048 or cr.mblackmore@strathfield.nsw.gov.au
R U OK?
Today is R U OK? Day - the national day of action when Australians are reminded that every day is the day to ask, ‘are you OK?’ and start a meaningful conversation whenever you spot the signs that someone you care about might be struggling with life. Council marked the day with a special staff presentation and the Community Services team have set up a display with resources at the Library. Make sure you visit for helpful tips on out to check in with your loved ones and ask RUOK?
Thanks for Coming to the Spring Festival!
Although the weather did not turn out as forecasted, we still had a great time at the Spring Festival! Visitors enjoyed delicious food trucks, flower crowns, seedling plantings, rides and Bluey and Bingo were a hit with our littlest residents. Thank you to everyone who came out for this community event!
