Good afternoon Fellow Residents, Commuters and Petition Supporters

MARK LATHAM ANNOUNCES ONE NATION TO PROVIDE 3000 CAR PARKING SPACES AT EDMONDSON PARK AND LEPPINGTON STATIONS

On Friday the 15th February 2019 Mark Latham announced that Michael Byrne would be the One Nation Candidate for Holsworthy and that after months of discussions One Nation would provide 3000 Car Parking Spaces at Edmondson Park and Leppington Stations if they held balance of Power after the State election.

Thank you to Mark Latham for taking the time to Listen and actually provide a real solution to fix the Car Parking Crisis with 3000 additional Car Parking Spaces between Edmondson Park and Leppington Stations rather than the Stop Gap / Band aid election promises made by the major parties.

Mr Latham said in his announcement that… “The lack of State Government planning to accommodate rapid population growth in Liverpool has been disgraceful.

This can be seen at Leppington and Edmondson Park railway stations each day. Even though they were opened just four years ago, the lack of commuter parking spaces has produced chaos, overcrowding and unsafe conditions on surrounding streets.

There can be no clearer demonstration of government failure than this basic neglect of sound planning in South-West Sydney.

Given the extra population growth projected at Leppington, west to the Badgerys Creek Airport site, the parking problem is just beginning.

Urgent action is needed to overcome the shortfall. This is why One Nation will use $90 million from its $200 million Commuter Car Parking Fund to build 1,500 extra parking spaces at Edmondson Park and 1,500 at Leppington.

Only One Nation has a fair dinkum policy. Labor has committed to just 300 extra parking spots at Leppington and the Liberals and Labor 700 new spaces at Edmondson Park.

This is nowhere near enough. The combined Labor/Liberal effort is only one-third of what’s needed.

Leppington currently has 850 spaces and under One Nation’s policy it will have 2350. Edmondson Park has a paltry 400 spots now, with One Nation taking this to 1900.

Only Michael Byrne will get the job done, delivering better government and planning for this fast-growing part of Sydney.

I also want to pay tribute to the tireless efforts of local campaigner Michael Andjelkovic and the many people who have signed his petitions calling for extra station parking. Michael has given this issue a profile no decent political party can ignore.”

Community Thank You Lettter – It’s got nothing to do with Politics?

As you would be aware a couple of weeks ago I wrote up an Update to provide a COMMUNITY Thank You Letter to ALL Politicians and other that have been involved in the Car Parking Crisis after the announcements that Liberal and Labor made Election Promises for $40 Million to provide 700 Car Spaces at Edmondson Park station Only.

There were 9 points in all covered in the Update that you can read here https://www.change.org/p/increase-commuter-parking-at-edmondson-park-and-leppington-train-stations/u/24111743

Liverpool Council at its meeting decided on the following Notice of Motion which was made by a Liberal Councillor to Thank a Liberal MP and Liberal Premier and not name anyone else  (well pardon my sarcasm but it won’t have anything to do with Politics?) This was moved by a majority of councillors made up of Liberal Party councillors and LCIT Party councillors.

…..3.Write to Premier Berejiklian & the Member for Holsworthy Melanie Gibbons thanking them for listening to Council and the community and for the budget allocation of $40,000,000 for car parking at Edmondson Park train station;

4. Acknowledge the efforts of all community members who played a part in calling for the extra car parking spaces. And

8. Send further representations to the state government seeking funding for parking at Leppington train station

My suggestion was ignored, as were the Proposed Labor Party amendements.
