The issue

Erskineville Road is more than just a thoroughfare; it’s the heartbeat of our community in Erskineville, New South Wales. Its vibrancy, local businesses, and cherished neighbourhood atmosphere make it a central hub for many of us. However, the disjointed nature due to the separate naming of Swanson Street and Copeland Street causes unnecessary confusion and diminishes the community cohesion we all love.

By unifying Swanson Street and Copeland Street under the Erskineville Road name, even Erskineville Train Station is not on Erskineville Road.

The local economy would likely see a positive impact as well, with an expected increase in foot traffic to businesses located along the expanded Erskineville Road. This could boost sales for our beloved local shops, cafes, and markets, providing them with more support to thrive.

Let us come together to eliminate the confusion and enhance the unity of our area by supporting the renaming of Swanson and Copeland Streets. This small change can contribute to the strengthening of Erskineville’s community spirit and get that step closer to world peace.

Sign this petition to urge the local authorities to officially rename these streets and unify our beloved road.
