Thanks to the safe system of street closures in our area, 72% of children at Erskineville Public School walk or ride to school. All that is under threat with the opening of Macdonald St to Mitchell Rd. Sign the petition to keep our local streets safe:

Many footpaths are very narrow in Erskineville and they shouldn't be made any narrower. FoE is advocating for many of our local streets to become 10kmh shared zones. Thanks to Dr Chris Standen for highlighting this important issue.

A botched 2022 accessibility "upgrade" at St Peters station removed ramp access at the Goodsell St entrance. Now after a community outcry and petition, a section of ramp has been re-instated. A victory for common sense.
