Alistair, Here's a copy of the email re Lennox Bridge - it was sent to the list five days ago (9 October) - no wonder there's been no reply from the politicians - they have barely had a chance to read their emails ! A further email to the list the next day (10 October) noted that the address given in the original email for the Minister's address was incorrect: Office of Environment and Heritage, please send your correspondence to the Minister's Office atoffice@parker.minister.nsw.gov.au Alison :-) Sydney Oz --------------------------------------------------------- On 9.10.2012 7:34 AM, The Warwicks wrote: > This statement was issued in the latest RAHS E-News. > > > Partial Demolition of Lennox Bridge Approved: On Wednesday 3 October the NSW Heritage Council voted to allow Parramatta City Council to demolish part of the 1830s convict-built Lennox Bridge to provide for two riverbank cycleways.

Thanks Alison, I too missed the second email and apologise, but wonder if all the other emails were also incorrect. As a lot of people, I have probably been thinking of this issue with passion, and wonder why the citizen's concerns are not taken into account and on a more serious note? We lose these parts of our history and we never get them back, which is very sad indeed.................Jenni -----Original Message----- From: aus-nsw-sydney-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-nsw-sydney-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alison Sent: Sunday, 14 October 2012 11:25 AM To: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com; acameron@hinet.net.au Subject: Re: [ANS] Lennox Bridge, Parramatta needs your help Alistair, Here's a copy of the email re Lennox Bridge - it was sent to the list five days ago (9 October) - no wonder there's been no reply from the politicians - they have barely had a chance to read their emails !

Hi Hate to say it but aren't ministers usually responsible for filling this country up with Mr Chadid's, who hate our colonial heritage and everything about it, in the first place?. I for one don't expect Mr Chadid to be sympathetic to our colonial culture and heritage, he probably hates it. The Mr Chadid's of this world don't come here for Australian culture and heritage....., they come here to smother it. He wants a bicycle track for the now non Anglo/moslty Muslim population of Parramatta, and won't think twice about knocking down the beautiful old colonial convict bridge to get it.. Please keep at them, or otherwise everything we have will soon be lost, and like Britain, Europe and America we will soon be embroiled in a civil war of our own left wing socialist governments making.. .
