Hi Folks!
RE: TELSTRA SITE & THE WOOLWORTH'S CAMPAIGN - MULLUMBIMBY
This morning I did an interview with NBN News asking for community to lobby Byron Shire Council to buy back the Telstra site, for community. It is up for grabs by auction on 22 Feb. this site was once railway land (ie community owned) then Telstra acquired it (they are or were community owned) and now its up for grabs and its right NEXT DOOR to where Woolworths want to build a massive supermarket in our small country town.
This site is clearly visible on entering the town. Its one of Mullum's Crown Jewels. Please help us to keep it in the community - maybe for local farmers market, community gardens or permanent market site fixture selling local produce: fruit/veg, tea, coffee, macadamias, meat, dips and maybe even local arts and crafts.
Byron shire Councillors are:
Jan Barham, Jan Mangleson, John Lazarus, Ray Kestle, Richard Staples, Ross Tucker, Tom Tabart, Peter Westheimer, Dianne Wood
THIS IS WERE PEOPLE-POWER IS NEEDED TO COUNTERACT THE MULTINATIONAL JUGGERNAUGHT COMING TO TOWN!!
Support your local economy! Demand low carbon footprint in our community! We live in a food bowl here, why should we have food from thousands of ks away monopolising our country town retail sector? Do we support monoculture, as does Woolworths? What about the local butcher, baker and candlestick maker - what will happen to their business if Woolworth's comes? The Billinudgel butcher closed down when Bi-Lo went to Ocean Shores.
Cheers
Deborah
