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.

HUNDREDS of people attended a snap rally in Sydney Park this morning to protest the Baird Government’s planned destruction of hundreds of trees there for the WestCONnex tollway.

HUNDREDS of people are expected to attend the WestCONnex Action Group (WAG)’s latest event, WestCONnex: Driving Sydney to Destruction, in Sydney Park on Sunday.

On Thursday 11 August, Janet Dandy-Ward from WestCONnex Action Group spoke to Colin Hesse on Radio Skid Row about our upcoming event, WestCONnex: Driving Sydney to Destruction.
