Clarification by CoS on Future of Community Safety Plans in Redfern Waterloo
REDWatch has raised concerns about the failure of the CoS to impliment the recomendation from the Evaluation of the Redfern Waterloo Community Safety Plan which calls for Council and the community "to decide what needs to be done from now on”. The Issue was raised at the March 2009 Redfern Waterloo Community Forum. The response below was received from the CoS in response to follow up correspondence to CoS CEO and Deputy Lord Mayor Marcelle Hoff. REDWatch continues to seek discussion between Council and the community about a Redfern Waterloo specific follow up to the Redfern Waterloo Community Safety Plan which Council now considers completed.
