We know there are hundreds of Mount Druitt Commuters checking our blogspot as we have had another record year of visits to our website, although we understand that once blogs are published it is an international education to all public transport commuters and/or interest groups.
On behalf of our group, I am so prod that people take interest even people I speak to as strangers and the public transport stake holders I am aware of. My belief is that what we are doing within the area, advocating for improved public transport is not recognised, is well respected by all. Local newspapers will produce 'items of interest stories' as they have done in the past. Local politicians are printing off each publish blog, filing them and assessing which one is important for them to take up and handle. Locals are getting proud that our group takes important interest to ensure Mount Druitt is recognised as an important public transport hub as part of Western Sydney growth center.
Now for the local community successes we have had in the past year:
So we ask any community members to provide us with support and feedback as we represent you! And we thank you all for listening, reading and support our ideas and suggestions.
