RRL removes community notice board

We recently put up a notice board on the public art wall at Fordham Reserve, so that we could put up information about issues affecting the community.

It seemed like a good idea to us—sometimes people miss out on one of the official RRL notices, and lots of people use the park who aren't necessarily in the RRL "catchment" area. We wanted to make sure everyone who uses the park and the area knew about issues affecting its future.

But after only a few days the RRL had removed the noticeboard. We really can't fathom why—particularly as the art wall is supposed to be for "everyone"...

Here's our media release (pdf) about it!

There's also been a bit of news coverage regarding our last media release, about the lack of consultation about traffic changes—in the Star (Consult on road changes: council and Truck lanes rage), the Leader (Truck worry in Footscray following Regional Rail Link works) and the Maribyrnong Weekly (Trucking hell: Regional Rail Link brings Moore pain to Footscray residents).
