No Response Fron Allan Shearan - E-mail Sent To Him 14/4/10

We have sent a follow up e-mail requesting our response from our e-mail sent 14/4/10 re no mention of our group on his glossy brochures. We will see if we get a sudden response! These things seem to take time!

Dear Allan,

I refer to our e-mail enclosed of 14th April 2010 addressed to yourself, in relation to requesting feedback from you. So far you haven't replied as yet and seem to not want to respond to our positive and community focused group caring for the community. I have learnt a lot from you by your reactions and will have passed on your reactions from us to our group and community.

It would have been nice if you provided a courteously response to us. The more you keep ignoring us the more you distance yourself from our group. We have been approachable each and every one of us and will always be approachable and wait for a possible response from yourself.

Regards

John Svoboda
Chairperson Save Our Bus Services Mount Druitt And Surrounding Suburbs.

Allan Shearan Possably Misleading With His Community Letter To Community Members

Referring to the letter that we wrote on letter from Allan Shearan, it appears Mr. Allan Shearan has just the gun for announcing on this letter the following word, 'It is pleasing that buses will return to Gasmata Crescent.....'

I personally rang The Westbus representative at Windsor from Westbus to congratulate him on his his company and drivers taking the lead to bring the buses down Gasmata Crescent!

He was astounded as he wasn't told and once told he has organise the drivers to go down the street - he advised that the State Member for Londonderry, Mr Allan Shearan was wrong as they are still in discussions. He obviously wasn't happy that someone was trying to 'political point score' By being the the first cab off the rank to pre-announce what has not been done as yet - the community will be mislead.

I then took the liberty to contact Allan Shearan's office and spoke to Rodney stated he just came back from leave and don't know what was happening with the letter - he advised after cheking that there are still mmeting between Westbus and Blacktown Council - asked Rodney will Mr Shearan send a letter of apology for possably misleading the community - he mumbled and grumbled, ' I will refer to Mr. Shearan!'

When asked why Mr Shearan has spoken or call myself for the last few months all there was was alot of silence! Probably what Mr. Shearan should do now in to chnge his letter sent to the community! The Gasmata bus is not running today and wasn't even runing on your letter dated 23/2/10 - everybody knew that except you!

We expect a letter box dropping of apologies where all your community letters were sent! Respect the community - by the way you have quoted on your letter that Save our Bus Services, Mount Druid And Surrounding Suburbs was the main group that got the buses back - please do so in future correspondence! Do not hide our group name from your future corro,please! People are asking why aren't you recognising our group on theese letters?

Not One Phone Call Or Contact From Members Of Local Government Or State Government To Us To Congratulate The Community!

It appears that if you are elected into office of Local Government or State Government - that is all you do - when it comes to a powerful community group lobbied or advocated for an one issue only for one cause 'the community' and your community wins - not one phone call is received to myself (or even an e-mail to us)to express satisfaction of what we had done on behalf of the community.

I understand a that there was expectation that all local councillors should be accredited as well as local state members should be credited but when the crunch came and someone had to stand up to all levels of government and stand up for the people - I was voluntarily asked. The only thought I had was only for our community. I am honoured to have such leadership and asked to have such leadership within our community - yet I share this leadership with Debbie and Joan - who have had more local community activity around our suburbs. I give my hat to them! They are the ones that represent the group and the community with ideas that got us to where the community wanted us to be!

We do thank Jacqueline Donaldson councilor for Blacktown City Council and Ray Williams, Hon. Member for Hawkesbury for their contributions right throughout our mission. We also thank Richard Amery Hon. Member for Mount Druitt and Allan Shearan Hon. Member for Londonderry, for turning up to the first community meeting out three we had and then never turning up to the other two Community meetings!

I also thank Allan Shearan stating that I personally made it political the meeting we had on 7/11/2009 - whith the opposition attending our meeting which you thought I invited to the meeting. I think Allan Shearan, that removing the buses from essential streets for the community was made politically and I had never personally invited the opposition to the 7th November Meeting and since have not had an apology for that comment. I remember Sonyia had explained to me that she confirmed to you Mr Williams invited himself to our meeting due to public newspaper reports. I don';t forget things but now I know politicians like make ridiculing comments and embarrassing me!
