Style St - Leichhardt

-


 







Met Mal, Ad and Neil on #stylesst #leichardt2040 today. 
 
The Pedestrian Access Mobility Plan (PAMP https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/pedestriansafety) has identified numerous items to address on Styles street where kids cycle or walk to and from school and adults take kids to and from the schools and preschool: 
 
  • narrow footpaths 
  • poles blocking footpaths 
  • narrow pedestrian refuges 
  • shortcomings in pedestrian crossings 
  • lighting 
 
Now we need to get on and fix it! Show us the money and let's make it walking and cycling a priority - not because of the health benfits but because of the pleasure. 
 
 "For instance, it’s too common to see, across NSW, local streets and neighbourhoods bereft of footpaths. For children, older people, parents pushing prams or people with disabilities – the lack of a footpath isn’t an inconvenience; it’s a barrier to moving freely in public space. "- Rob Stokes, Minister for Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport 10 February 2022, Footpaths and cycleways are an act of democracy – Ask Steph, the fifth estate, https://thefifthestate.com.au/urbanism/planning/footpaths-and-cycleways-are-an-act-of-democracy-ask-steph/

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/

Len and Dilys Williams and the Hunter Baillie Presbyterian Church

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956. The church was in decline and the threat of falling masonry had made it impossible to obtain public liability insurance. (p39, Hunter Baillie ) Dilys conducted alternate services at Leichhardt and Hunter Baillie Presbyterian churches with her husband and was inducted, in 1969, as the first woman Elder in NSW. (p41, Hunter Baillie ). Ferguson Library Archivist mentioned in her talk at the church on 4 September 2010, that Dilys Williams in the 1930s had applied to the Presbyterian Church of Australia General Assembly to be Accepted as a candidate for the Ministry. Her application was "laid on the table" and was never dealt with. The stained glass window on the northern side of the church was restored in memory of the Williams' time at the church. "Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
