MAYOR CALLS FOR BETTER FLOOD ACTION

BLACKTOWN Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM has paid tribute to the incredible efforts of emergency services crews in the wake of recent flooding.
 
Mayor Bleasdale has also called on all levels of Government to work together to come up with long-term, sustainable plans to deal with floods that are occurring with increasing regularity.
 
The recent severe weather event resulted in flooding, road closures and evacuations in some parts of Blacktown City, with the city declared a natural disaster area for the second time in six months.
 
“A huge thank you goes out to our volunteers, emergency services workers and our own Council crews for their efforts during the second major flooding event to hit our City in a matter of months,” Mayor Bleasdale said.
 
More than 23 tonnes of waste has been collected from Blacktown Streets so far.’
To organise collection of flood waste in other areas, contact Blacktown City Council Customer Service on 9839 6000.
