Blacktown Council Knocks Back 'Save Our Bus Services Mount Druitt And Surrounding Suburbs' Gasmata Crescent Submission

Although, a submission has been made by a representative of Westbus and Ministry of Transport to Blacktown Council, it appears the Blacktown is not in touch with the community of Mount Druitt when a submission from our group for a bus service was knocked back. JCounciloor Jacqueline iomaldson has put through our proposal and the governing members of the Blacktown City Council were the ones that refused it.

Meeting 20/2/10 - Fight On! ) that has been approved - we feel that there could be safety issues with buses travelling along west of Samarai Road and Moresby Crescent - two buses may find very difficult to pass each other. Although Safety has been looked at by the bus operaters and Ministry of Transport as Allan Shearan had a walk with these representatives - he didn't seem to talk to us and ask for our thoughts. In fact he has turned away from us for quite a long time.

We don't deny that it will provide transport coverage for the residents that used to walk over 400 metres to the nearest bus stop. I have seen children play cricket on Moresby Crescent ( when I drove past one time), so I hope this doesn't create a safety issue in the future. That will up to the residents to ensure all children are safe whilst buses are travelling up and down.

We will be referring to our 5 representatives that we have in our group representing Gasmata area to provide feedback to us within the next few months and that we will use our submission as a backup for next bus review as the bus route 674 in Gasmata is reviewed for 6 months starting as from 27/4/10.
