Cr Matthew Blackmore, Mayor of Strathfield

I hope everyone has had a good chance to catch up with family and friends these school holidays. It is also a great opportunity to relax and reflect during the school holidays.

Council has installed three new raised pedestrian crossings during this school holiday period. These grant-funded pedestrian safety improvements are at Hillcrest Rd, Strathfield South, Hampstead Rd, Homebush West and Homebush Rd, Strathfield. The finishing touches will be completed in the next day or so.

If you need assistance with any local issue, please contact me on 0406 099 048 or cr.mblackmore@strathfield.nsw.gov.au
