WESTCONNEX Delivery Authority (WDA) has started to dig up large deposits of asbestos in St Peters despite not having the appropriate environmental impact assessments needed to clear the project for the health and safety of hundreds of thousands of Sydney residents.

Up to 200 people are expected to attend tonight’s Save Newtown Stop #WestCONnex public meeting organised by the Newtown branch of the WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) and supported by the Newtown Precinct Business Association.

ALMOST 900 submissions to stop WestCONnex destroying endangered species such as the Green and Golden Bell Frog were sent to federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt in 48 hours after WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) launched an online campaign last week.

THE endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog is under threat as secret plans to build the WestCONnex toll road through one of its last remaining habitats were quietly lodged to avoid public scrutiny.

HUNDREDS of people in south-west Sydney attended last Thursday’s WestCONnex ‘community information sessions’ in Kingsgrove to oppose the $15.4 billion toll road.

HUNDREDS of residents attended last week’s WestCONnex M4 East ‘community information sessions’ in Ashfield and Concord to express their opposition to the $15.4 billion toll road, which now threatens to destroy hundreds of heritage homes, businesses and communities in the area.

RESIDENTS facing the destruction of their homes and communities for the M4 East stage of WestCONnex have blasted the ‘community information sessions’ to be held by the WestCONnex Delivery Authority (WDA) in Ashfield and Concord this week as a “sham”.

RESIDENTS facing the destruction of their communities for WestCONnex’s New M5 tunnel are bracing themselves for more appalling treatment at the hands of the WestCONnex Delivery Authority (WDA) at its ‘community information sessions’ in Kingsgrove this Thursday.

HUNDREDS of residents attended the WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) ‘WestCONnex Independence Day’ rally at Goddard Park in Concord on Saturday to oppose the $15.4 billion toll road, which experts say will only worsen Sydney’s traffic pollution and congestion.

Residents opposed to the destructive #WestCONnex project will unite in Concord tomorrow when WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) hosts the ‘WestCONnex Independence Day’ rally.
