Support our campaign to fix the Princes Hwy @ Heathcote
As you're probably aware, the Minister for the Illawarra decided to screw over the people of the Illawarra earlier this week when he over-ruled advice from the RTA to put in a clearway at Heathcote.
NSW Labor used the cover of the Federal election campaign to make their cowardly announcement, and they're hoping the thousands of us who suffer a day will just silently put up with it and that the issue will drop off the radar.
We don't want to let that happen.
To keep the issue up there, we'd like to hire one of those yellow electronic signs, and put it on the median strip for north-bound traffic to read, reminding people that Labor has screwed Illawarra motorists over.
We'll ask people to call McLeay and tell him what they think while they're waiting in traffic. We'll also try and get some newspaper coverage of the campaign, and the plan is to make this Facebook group the focus.
Unfortunately, hiring these signs costs money. About $650/week. To make it happen we need your support. If you care about this issue, please reply and let us know if you're able to pledge $20 or $30 bucks to the cause.
While it is unlikely we'll get a backflip (on a backflip on a backflip) from McLeay on this, we need Barry O'Farell to make an announcement that they support turning this side-street back into a Highway (70kph, clearway) before they get elected. Actions like this sign board and lobbying are all necessary to make this an issue - so, to make a change, we need your support.
