Community Meeting 26 March 2022

Traffic lights for Frederick & John Street intersection Ashfield Petition. By 29 March the petition was at 1521 signatures.  https://www.change.org/p/traffic-lights-for-frederick-john-street-intersection-ashfield

A number of minor improvements to Frederick St have been included in the Inner West Council PAMP adopted in April 2021 (however Council's role is limited on a state road) https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/pedestriansafety

Council also has previous resolutions relating to Frederick Street and residents at the community meeting also raised concerns with the crossing at Henry Street and the traffic lights at Church and Elizabeth St. The Tunnel under the main rail line is also the source of concern. I hear there was another accident on Frederick St today.

 The current crossing was only 'upgraded' after Mehreen Faruqi asked a question in Parliament. June 2018 https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/hp/housepaper/16569/QA_160_06_JUNE_2018.pdf

Note the central median has not been implemented. From Report of Transport for NSW entitled "NSW Road Safety Progress Report 2018", dated June 2019 https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/tp/files/76502/NSW Road Safety Progress Report 2018.pdf
Frederick Street, Ashfield

This included the installation of kerb blisters, centralmedian, new line marking and signage to increase thevisibility of the crossing and to significantly improvepedestrian safety

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...
