Good Morning Fellow Residents, Commuters and Petition Supporters
Please keep sharing the Online Petition www.tinyurl.com/MoreParkingNow so we can hit the 10,000 mark. We are getting closer with the number of Supporters being just over 7900 at present.
In this Update I will cover the following
1) Meeting with the Liverpool Council CEO regarding Ed Park Station
2) Email to Peter Sidgreaves MP for Camden regarding Leppington Station
MEETING WITH LIVERPOOL COUNCIL CEO
ON Friday the 1st November 2019 I had a meeting with the CEO of Liverpool Council to discuss my idea of using Liverpool Trash and Treasure Markets as a possible temporary Carpark until such time as the Multi Level Carpark is built by the NSW Liberal Government as promised prior to the last State Election. See Update link from the 7th October 2019 for details and Video clips https://www.change.org/p/increase-commuter-parking-at-edmondson-park-and-leppington-train-stations/u/25164148
Ms Fishburn’s reply to me is as follows
“Good to meet with you Michael.
As discussed, I can confirm:
Council acknowledges that commuter car parking is a significant issue in Edmondson Park.
Council is clear that commuter car parking is the responsibility of Transport for NSW.
However, Council also supports finding a practical solution to the issues and working proactively with TfNSW as long as this is at no financial impact to Council.
Regards, Kiersten

“Chief Executive Officer
I will now be sending an email to the Mayor Wendy Waller and all LCC Councillors asking that they support this idea and send a letter to Andrew Constance Minister for Infrastructure and Roads (again) hopefully we might receive an answer.
EMAIL TO PETER SIDGREAVES MP FOR CAMDEN
Good Morning Mr Sidgreaves
I am writing to you regarding the Car Parking Crisis at Leppington Station to ask IF you have received any indication from Mr Constance Minister for Transport and Roads when the fund's will be released and when will work commence on upgrading the Car Park at Leppington Station?
On Friday Bryon Road was partly closed for NBN work will apparently last for some time.
Camden Council is planning to reseal Byron Road soon however I am yet to receive an email to my request for a date if when work will commence or how long it will take. Could your office shed any light on this matter?
I also presented another Petition (the 8th Paper Petition about the Car Parking Crisis) with over 700 signatures obtained in 4 days to Mark Latham MLC
The Petition was presented in NSW Parliament House on the 17th October 2019. This Petition was organised by me after Mr Constance made his comments about the Car Parking Crisis on CH7 News earlier in October about throwing down some bitumen and painting some white lines to fix the Parking Problems.
Links provided in my Car Parking Crisis Petition Update from the 7th October 2019 - you can read and view video clips using the link below
The Online Petition is growing steadily and is now over 7900 supporters.
Also Just wondering how the Consultants are progressing ?
In the 2019 budget an amount of $212,000 was allocated to carry out investigations into providing consultants reports for solutions to the Car Parking issues.
a) Have those reports been done?
b) What was the outcome of the reports?
c) Are the reports available to the public?
d) Can you forward me a copy of the reports?
In addition Mark Latham MLC provided some interesting information to the Parliament about the number of Commuters using Leppington Station and WHY the current Carpark is inadequate. I thought that you might find this information of interest also.
And finally I was doing some research on the last election results. A swing of 10.7% against the Liberal Party in Camden was pretty large.

Do you think that the Car Parking Crisis had something to do with that?
I do and hopefully we won't be talking about the issue at the next election in 2023 although the way things are going I'm not so sure about that.
I look forward to receiving your reply.
Kind Regards
