Willmot Is Also Affected By The New Time Tables Of Bus Services

Pauline, one of our newest group members represents the suburb of Willmot. Although she represents Willmott at our last group meeting and was advising that her suburb is quite happy with the new Bus services. She had reason to believe this as Willmot has a local newspaper created by the their community called, 'The Willmot Explorer'. In the last issue #38 - Dec 09 - Jan 10 she placed an advertisement on page ten 'Do you have a a problem with our Bus sevioes?'

In the advertisement it asked community members to contact the MSW Governments 'Infoline on 131500; or (As the suburb falls into the Mount Druitt Electorate) to be posted or provide information to the Hon. Member for Mount Druitt, Mr. Richard Amery.

She had contacted Richard Amery's office and was told there was no complaints or issues around Willmot received.

Well, we now believe through Janet (One of our group members from Bidwill) that the Department of Housing at Willmot is door knocking around Willmot regarding bus issues they have received. they are meeting during the week and then will provide a representative to our Community Meeting we are organising for 6th February 2010 (further details to come).

Pauline has now advised of sport event that someone she knows couldn't reach in time at Telstra Stadium Homebush at 9,30am on Sunday' and public holidays that they now have to walk to Tregear to get early buses that will make them reach their final destination non time. The walk to Tregear is more than 400 metres - State Government thumb rule. Before,they were able to walk to Lethbridge Park to catch bus number Westbus 780. As it is too long to walk they didn't go to the event!
