Tonight I have written to all the known candidates that are standing in the seat of Lyons in the upcoming state election. I hope to have a reply soon to share with all the Willow Court Supporters. This is what I have asked:
Dear Candidate,
As a candidate for the seat of Lyons this coming election we (Willow Court Advocacy Group) would like to know your thoughts or your party’s thoughts on the sensitive redevelopment of the Willow Court Site. We would appreciate if you would take the time to read and respond to our questions. Your response/non response will be published on our website, Facebook group and Facebook page so Willow Court supporters can make valid judgements at the ballot box this March.
1. This site is a world heritage site; will you support a listing to protect the social and physical history of the site?
2. Do you support an apology to the previous Residents for the Government policies that separated and denied people with a disability from being able to access their families and communities?
3. Many more dollars are required to fund the restoration of the site, how will you support this and help create jobs in the New Norfolk/Derwent Valley area?
Thank you for considering these questions and I hope I can upload your response soon.
