Cr Matthew Blackmore, Mayor of Strathfield
This week council celebrated Book Week at Strathfield Council Library and Innovation Hub. It was great to see a big turn out of local families with lots of people wearing some great costumes for the event.
Our Communications and Events Team have been working in preparation for the Strathfield Spring Festival which will be held on Saturday 3rd September at Strathfield Park. The event has returned after a 2 year break due to Covid restrictions so it will be bigger than ever with a jam-packed program of rides, performances, food trucks, stalls and of course Bluey and Bingo.
Make sure you put it in the calendar and bring your family and friends along.
If you need assistance with any local issue, please contact me on 0406 099 048 or cr.mblackmore@strathfield.nsw.gov.au
