By resolution I moved during this term of Council and supported by Eastwood Police, an Alcohol Free Zone was created in the Eastwood town centre (outside of licensed premises), effective until 30 June 2014. I hope it will be renewed and supported by future Ryde councillors to keep our residents, businesses, and children’s playgrounds safe from broken bottles and other anti-social behaviour.

Besides fighting for bigger picture issues like the proposed redevelopment of the Ryde Civic Centre, residents often contact me about more personal matters which are no less important to their daily lives.
Recently, a resident living at Balaclava Road contacted me about cars being parked too close to their driveway, which obstructed their view of oncoming traffic when driving out. After I made some representations to Council staff, we have managed to put in a safer distance between the driveway and the street parking bays as can be seen in this photo.
If you have a similar problem, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear friends and residents
This is my last newsletter of the year to keep you informed of my work on Council, which will also be found in this week’s TWT newspaper. As usual, I welcome your feedback and comments. Thank you to all those who have contacted me in 2011. I hope I have been able to resolve some of your issues. Wishing you and your families a happy and safe Christmas and 2012.
Kind regards
Justin

The community has reacted against plans to redevelop the Top Ryde Civic Centre by forming the Ryde Community Alliance. Visit their website and facebook page and join in the fight to stop 24 storey towers and potential massive development at the Top Ryde Civic Centre site. Rest assured, at least half of the Council is listening and supporting our local community.

Closure of the bridge since the fire in July has caused Eastwood shoppers much inconvenience and commerce has suffered. We hope the bridge’s reopening will mark a new age of prosperity and happiness for the Eastwood community and local businesses.
