Hi Everyone – below is a copy of an invitation to attend a rally at St Clair Oval on this Saturday 7th August. We have extended this invitation to all of the other groups that we are aware of that share our concern over the loss of open space amid the rampant development focus of the current government. Please do your best to come along to St Clair Oval on Saturday and bring banners, signs etc telling the government how you feel about being ignored.
We are also holding an information session for prospective Council candidates immediately following the next Council meeting on 9th August. The Council meeting is at 7pm and the information session will be at 8pm at St Margarets Church Hall on the corner of Port Rd and Woodville Rd. This will be a SCRRA Committee meeting rather than a general members meeting (just to try to keep numbers workable), unless you are planning to run as a candidate for Council please do not attend this meeting; however we would love to see you at the next SCRRA Members meeting to be held after the Council meeting on 23rd August at 8pm.
We would also like some feedback from you on an alternative plan for St Clair incorporating much more open space than those proposed by Council and the LMC. We will have copies at the rally for you to look at and comment on. A representative from David Ridgeway MLC will be there, as will Stateline and hopefully Today Tonight and ABC News will be able to make it too.
Details of rally are: 12pm at St Clair Oval, Woodville Rd on Sat 7th August
An invitation from St Clair to a Rally to Save Our Open Space – Stand Up Against Development Happy Government before the Bulldozers Come to Where You Live!!
Developers are funding the government and the government is raping and pillaging our precious open space and rural land to pay them back the favour!!
The government clearly did not learn anything at the last election and has continued on its merry way at St Clair, Cheltenham, Glenside, Mt Barker, Gawler, Mt Pleasant, McLaren Vale and on and on and on!!! They have not listened and do not care!!!
While the Federal election is in full swing, this is your opportunity to show that you do care about open space and that you vote!! Come along with your group’s signs and banners and join us at St Clair in a show of solidarity and concern.
Sausage sizzle provided, and lots of community spirit!! See you there!
Regards Kirsten Alexander, SCCRA Chair
