Hawkesbury City Council Mayoral Elections 2018

The North Richmond and Districts Community Action Association  Committee calls on all Councillors to support independent Councillors to occupy the positions of Mayor and Deputy Mayor for the remainder of the current Council's term in view of the challenges that face our community, particularly from State and Federal Governments.

At the last Council election voters resoundingly supported a progressive independent Council.

We have been particularly impressed by the level of Community involvement and participation achieved under the leadership of Councillor Lyons-Buckett. This is in marked contrast to Redbank, Thompson Square and West of the River developments championed by the former Liberal Mayor who was found wanting by ICAC.

Councillors are expected to act in the best interest of the community, not their political party. Local Government is for the people by the people.
