We want transport and planning choices that protect and improve east Footscray's community, heritage, access and parks.

In the news

There's been a bit of media coverage about the removal of our noticeboard at Fordham Reserve, in the Star (Noticeboard removed without notice) and the Maribyrnong Weekly (Regional Rail Link: Footscray residents back to the drawing board).

RRL project spokesmen Tim Holmes has gone on the record as saying the RRL was "open" to the idea of a community noticeboard at Fordham Reserve but that "actual permission was neither granted or revoked".

Funny, we thought the park belonged to Footscray, not the RRL. We're certainly the ones with long-term interest in the park's appearance and amenity. And we still don't really understand why they felt the need to remove it, especially as they think the idea of a community noticeboard is "great".
