In April, RMS released plans for changes to roads in the inner west following the opening of Westconnex Stage 1 tunnel portals at Parramatta Road and Wattle Street (Ashfield and Haberfield). In 2016, the Administrator (of the amalgamated Inner West Council) commissioned a study which made recommendations on mitigating the effects of the opening of Stage 1 of Westconnex.

Inner West Council 2016-8 Local area improvement strategy (LAIS)

Inner West Council under the administrator commissioned a report on the operational impact of Westconnex. The report made recommendations on what should be done to ameliorate the effect of the opening of WestConnex (stage 1) which includes tunel portals on Parramatta Road and Wattle Street at Ashfield/Haberfield. The estimated total cost of LAIS works is up to $29million and further community consultation would be required.

These are the measures proposed in the LAIS for Haberfield, Ashfield, Leichhardt and Annandale.

White's Creek Catchment in the Rain

Checked out White's Creek Catchment in the rain with a few long time residents including an 82 year old who was born at the Private Hospital where the Leichhardt Bolo is and moved to where she lives now when she was 1. She has seen a few changes and people come and go.    Ferris Lane looked fabulous!    The new lintel in Ferris Street seemed to be working well - residents have worked with council to make this happen along with cleaning out nearby drains and gutters.   Evan Jones Playground had a tree down. And a few other trees need mulching.     Water was flowing out of the grate where Styles Street crosses White's Creek and different drivers approached the puddle. The 150 year old salt glazed pipe was still working too!    Photos and Videos at https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvolNkD2Pb/

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956.

"Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
