Cr Matthew Blackmore, Mayor of Strathfield
I had the pleasure this week of opening the first of three foot bridges over Powell's Creek. The foot bridges, when complete, will provide a fantastic pedestrian link for our residents to the George St, North Strathfield precinct.
Our Citizenship Ceremony this week saw 68 new residents conferred from 15 different countries. A big thank you to the students from St Martha's Primary School who performed a lovely rendition of the Australian Anthem for our new residents.
I have some good news in relation to my continued push for the removal of the redundant Optus cable network from our local streets, I will be meeting with Optus on the 6th July and will be requesting a timeline for the removal. The removal will benefit the visual amenity of our area and improve future tree pruning. I'm hoping to provide some positive news soon.
If you need help with any local issues please contact me 0428 952 095 or cr.mblackmore@strathfield.nsw.gov.au
