Many visitors to first information stall

Around 100 people took advantage of a community information stall at the Pottsville Markets to find out more about the draft Delivery Program 2011/2012 and Operational Plan 2011/2012 and to provide their input.

A steady stream of market goers dropped into Council's marquee during the markets last Sunday, to view the draft documents, ask questions or offer their opinions about key issues in the district.

The Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Kevin Skinner, was among the Council representatives who attended the stall and said he was overjoyed by the level of community interest.

A high school and shopping centre in Pottsville were among regular issues raised by visitors to the Council marquee.

Many visitors welcomed the Council initiative to take the discussion out into the community and the chance to speak directly to the Mayor and senior Council staff.

Council will stage four more community information stalls for the Delivery Program and Implementation Plan throughout May:

* Monday, May 9 - Sunnyside Shopping Centre, Murwillumbah - 10am-noon

* Saturday, May 14 - Kingscliff Markets - 8am-noon

* Sunday, May 15 - Uki Markets - 8am-noon

* Wednesday, May 18 - Tweed City, Tweed Heads South - 10am-noon
