Dear Resident,
You will have received a letter
from Housing NSW saying that all the housing properties in Millers Point are to
be sold. This is a devastating
announcement but please remember that you are not alone.
The residents of this area will
work together to convince the government that the decision to sell all the
properties is wrong. We have already
been promised support from the Independent Member for Sydney in the State
Parliament, Alec Greenwich, Sydney City Council, Maritime Union of Australia,
the Australian Labour Party (NSW) and the Greens.
Dealing with this terrible
decision will take some time. In the
meantime we must all be strong and resolute and look after one another. Your local organisations are banding together
to present a united front to the Department.
In the coming days efforts will
be made to move the residents out one by one.
When you are approached, you will be asked to have an interview to
discuss your preferences for moving. We feel strongly that no resident should
agree to an interview until we have legal advice on how to proceed.
Below are the names and telephone
numbers of people whom you can ring if you need advice, support or help:
John McInerney (RAG) 9698 5985
Robin Hall (CoRE) 9247 9004
(after hours)
Barney Gardner 0421
107 121
You are not alone!
Times like this remind us how lucky we have been to live here. Let us all fight to keep that good fortune!
Residents are asked to attend a meeting
called by the Local Member Alex Greenwich and the Lord Mayor Clover Moore in
the Abraham Mott Hall on Saturday 22 March, 2014 at 12.00 noon.
