DEAR News Of The Area,
LOCAL State MP Gurmesh Singh has the cheek to say most residents quietly support the proposed Jetty Foreshore revitalisation project “even if they have been drowned out by the noisy minority”.
Mr Singh is completely ignoring the 68-plus percent of residents who voted against the proposal; hardly a noisy minority!
One of the roles of an MP is to make representations to Ministers on behalf of local organisations and individuals; and serve as the voice of their electorate in Parliament.
This means listening to local concerns, and advocating for community needs.
In this area, Mr Singh has failed.
It is no wonder there are many angry folk in the community.
Regards,
Trish WELSH,
Coffs Harbour.
