NEWTOWN resident Glenys Waddell, 70, faced court at Downing Centre today after being arrested protesting the destruction of Sydney Park trees for WestCONnex.

POLICE dragged residents out of a Sydney Park protest camp at 3am today so WestCONnex contractors working for the private Sydney Motorway Corporation (SMC) could set up a construction site, and begin work to destroy thousands of trees in the park.

RESIDENTS protesting the first meeting of the amalgamated Inner West Council in Petersham tonight forced the meeting to close before it began after refusing to let the unelected Administrator speak.

On 6 May 2016, Greens MP for Newtown Jenny Leong hosted a People's WestCONnex Inquiry at Parliament of NSW. Several WestCONnex Action Group members spoke at the inquiry on various topics. Here's the speech one of our spokespeople, Pauline Lockie, gave on WestCONnex and liveable cities.

MORE THAN 4,500 submissions objecting to the WestCONnex M4 East environmental impact statement (EIS) were sent in to the Department of Planning & Environment by last night’s midnight deadline.
