Good Afternoon Fellow Residents, Commuters and Petition Supporters
LEPPINGTON STATION COMMUTERS
I have started a new hard copy petition calling on the NSW State Government to Honour its Election Promise and FAST TRACK THE FUNDING to provide the extra car Parking Spaces at Leppington Station.
As you know $9 million was promised by Gladys Berijiklian prior to the Election but ONLY $212,000 was delivered in the State Budget.
I have spoken the Mark Latham MLC who has agreed to Lodge the Petition in Parliament on our Behalf.
I plan to be at Leppington Station for the rest of this week from 6 am to 7.45 am and in the evenings from 5pm to 6.45pm
If you would like to assist and get 10 Signature please email me for a PDF form that you can print and use. I must have the original back to lodge in Parliament. Email address is Michael.Independent1@Gmail.com OR you can message my via my Facebook page www.facebook.com/Michael.Independent
If you can please Comment Like and Share the video clip on my Facebook Page that would be appreciated

EDMONDSON PARK RESIDENTS - URGENT ACTION REQUIRED
Please Share this Information to your Friends, Family and Neighbours in Ed Park
The NSW DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING will be holding a meeting to hear from the Community about the proposed modification to reduce the amount of resident parking for the Edmondson Park Town Centre South.
WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS CAN BE MADE at www.tinyurl/EDS0919
The meeting will start at 9:30am on Monday 23 September at Liverpool Library.
If you wish to speak, you need to apply by close of business 19 September via email: ipcn@ipcn.nsw.gov.au
If you don't wish to speak or can't make it, but still would like to have your say via the link www.tinyurl.com/EDS0919
I will be making a written submission opposing the modification and I would encourage all local residents to do so as well.
Some of the issues I will note in my submission are as follows:
● The ongoing Car Parking Crisis at Ed Park Station has been out of control for year's now
● I will be including a link to the Car Parking Crisis Petition and refering to the Updates www.tinyurl.com/MoreParkingNow
● I will be including links to local newspaper articles about the ongoing Car Parking Crisis Campaign
● This proposed decrease to resident Parking will only make things worse for Resident, Commuters and the Suburb itself.
● Residents cannot rely on Public Transport alone in this area, a MV is a necessity to be able to travel freely.
● Surrounding Suburbs like Prestons and others already have significant issues with narrow streets and problems with on street parking.
● This is a planning problem and Liverpool Council is now spending ratepayers money trying to fix it. My concern is this will happen in the Ed Park development if this modification is approved.
Four more detailed Points Submitted by Local Resident Kristen EV
* The State Government has not developed a strategy to address the ongoing commuter car parking crisis at Edmondson Park train station.
* The lack of Government strategy coupled with Fraser's proposed changes for reduced parking for residents of Ed Square will result in residents being forced to park their cars on the street and in the commuter car parks causing additional strain for commuters.
* Fraser's proposal and the Department of Planning assumes that reducing carparking space for residents will provide the opportunity for reduced car dependency which is consistent with the Government's Department of Planning current planning strategies (reference the Dept of Planning response to Fraser's proposal and date). However, if commuters cannot park in the limited commuter car spaces to then use public transport because residents have parked there, then commuters will be forced to drive to other stations or worse, drive to work.
* The State Government needs to put in place more effective public transport infrastructure (e.g more bus routes to the station) for the Edmondson Park and surrounding communities if it wants to take reduced car dependency seriously and try and force citizens off the roads and out of the commuter car parks.
