RED ALERT!

The Department of Lands has informed us that they intend to proceed with their planned schedule ie they intend putting the land at 77 Hereford Street on the market in the 2nd/3rd week of April – which is NOW!

We do not know whether the Lord Mayor, Clover Moore has yet written to Lands asking them to defer sale until her officers have evaluated the land for public use (a commitment made at the council meeting on 10/4/06).

A projected meeting between The Department of Lands, Clover Moore’s office and representatives from 77 Hereford Street will probably not take place until AFTER ANZAC DAY.

We are close to losing this green space forever!

WE MUST ACT NOW TO KEEP THE FOREST IN FOREST LODGE!

EMAIL CLOVER MOORE - AGAIN! - ask her to
- note that Lands intends to proceed with its time frame for sale
- urgently ask Lands to defer sale
- expedite her officers’ evaluation of the land for public space
- expedite the meeting with Lands and our representatives
- extend Council’s Greening of Sydney policy to Forest Lodge.

The Greening of Sydney policy is evident elsewhere in Glebe, but NOT in the high density area of Forest Lodge. Remind Clover Moore that there has been NO new parkland in the Forest Lodge area in recent years. Remind her that our petition contained over 300 signatures!

EMAIL TONY KELLY – AGAIN!
Ask him to defer sale till Clover Moore’s officers have evaluated the land. Remind him that The Lord Mayor made a commitment to do this at the Council meeting on 10/4/06. Remind him that our petition contained over 300 signatures!
