Considering when West Torrens Council had a outstanding person who understood Community Development in South Australia its sad to see this council go down hill so fast since Joe Fayad left to join Prospect Council.First we had the sale of the old Works Depot West Thebarton RoadThebarton.
I was a elected member keswick Ward 1999-2000 at the time.This was followed by Community land
status removed to allow commercial development Brick Works Market South Road Thebarton.Although I support a Big W being built on this site.Will the owner of Torrensville SuperMarket Roger Drake plus 28 other stores attempt to delay this development like Hilton Plaza.How much did this cost West Torrens at Hilton Plaza ?Will this happen again at the Brickworks Market once plans are lodged with West TorrensCouncil by the developers of the big W at the Brick Works Market South Road Thebarton
Is the Falcon Av. Community House now under threat by West Torrens council?Why has staff numbers been reduced& courses cut? Will another Community asset be sold by West Torrens Council?Community Development is vital surely former Thebarton Mayor O'rielley now Lockleys Ward Councillor will fight for
retention of this valuable community asset in Falcon Av. Thebarton.Hilton Ward Councillor may also fight for this centre considering electors of Hilton Ward are close to this Centre.Trusting current Councillors West Torrens Council will listen to their Community in the future.Its hoped that Community values are considered in 2011 budget of West Torrens Council.
