Ashfield Mayor calls Westconnex tunnel proposal “unacceptable”,”absurd” and “outrageous”

Ashfield Mayor Lucille McKenna has left residents and Westconnex in no doubt about her views on the M4E tunnel proposal that will turn part of her local neighbourhood into a construction zone for three years. At a public meeting called by Council on September 23, she described the impact of various aspects of the proposal as “unacceptable”, “outrageous” and “absurd.” The People’s M4 EIS has published extracts from her speech, her more recent statement and the text of a motion that was passed unanimously at the meeting.
