On Monday the Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust hosted local candidates as part of their regular seniors meeting.
It was a pretty wet and wild outside but the reception inside the Old Flat Bush School Hall was warm and welcoming. We were treated to music, group exercises and a delicious lunch.
Candidates were invited to introduce themselves and their priorities, followed by an opportunity for questions.
There were two big issues that came out of our discussions:
Transport and road safety: especially around the Flat Bush / Ormiston area and more specifically at the Intersection of Murphy’s Road and Redoubt Road.
Flat Bush Library and Community Centre: despite it’s massive population growth, this area still doesn’t’ have a community centre or library.
Both of these are priorities for me and hopefully the community’s wishes are heard by other candidates (even those who didn’t attend).
