Save Rail Forum
The
government has said that it will close the Tier 3 Rail Lines
- those small Wheatbelt railways that handle the grain
harvest.
The
direct impact of the closure on metro communities will be
the increase in the number of trucks using the highways. The
increase in: danger on the Wheatbelt roads, pollution, cost
and inconvenience as well as the future economic and social
consequences of closing railway lines must be considered.
Mundaring Ratepayer groups
have booked
The Hub in Craig St Mundaring for
7pm
on Tuesday June 26th .
Jane
Fuchsbichler from the Wheatbelt Railway Retention
Alliance will give a presentation. Ken Travers, Shadow
Minister for Transport, Frank Alban local MLA and Jim Thom
from the Hills Sustainability Group have also been invited
to speak. Alison Xamon or another member of The Greens
will also be there. A Panel will give everyone a chance
to ask questions, have a say and come up with some
actions we may take.
We
believe that there is a real opportunity to change this
policy, but only if city people are prepared to be
involved.
