Cr Matthew Blackmore, Mayor of Strathfield
You may have noticed I have been conducting my local street meetings since my election as Mayor, and by the end of this year I will have visited every inch of our Council Area. A message I have heard loud and clear is that residents want to see improvements in our streetscapes, parks, roads, footpaths, street sweeping, and in general the look and feel of the Strathfield Community.
I want to make sure that Strathfield is maintained at an extremely high level of cleanliness and our streets are tidy so we can maintain our property values and live in a healthy environment. In order to make these improvements there is a cost associated.
Council is already looking at ways to save money and future plans to ensure we are a financially sustainable council. If you have any feedback or ideas from your experience about ways in which Council can make future savings, I would love to hear about it.
Also, don't forget to join us this Saturday for the return of Christmas Carols at Strathfield Park! It will be a fun and festive evening for the whole family to enjoy.
If you need help with any local issues, please feel free to contact me at 0406 099 048 or cr.mblackmore@strathfield.nsw.gov.au.
It's Time to Get Festive!
There are just two days left until Strathfield Park turns into a Christmas wonderland for both Christmas Carols and Movies in the Park! Join us this Saturday for an evening of carols, face painting, a jumping castle and a special screening of the classic film, The Grinch (2000). It's a night for the whole family to enjoy! Oh, and don't forget to pack a picnic with your favourite snacks and bring along a blanket or chairs to get comfy for a fun-filled evening!
