PREMIER Mike Baird was confronted in Haberfield on Tuesday by dozens of local residents whose communities are set to be destroyed for WestCONnex as he attended the opening of a local patisserie.

WE received the following email from longtime Haberfield resident Graeme McKay, who sent it to every MP in NSW. It's a powerful and heartfelt account of what WestCONnex's destruction means - not just to residents of Haberfield, but for people across the toll road's destructive 33km route.

WESTCONNEX M4 East contractors carrying out construction works for the toll road ahead of planning approval called police today after residents occupied their planned drilling sites on Ramsay Road and Reg Coady Reserve in Haberfield.

WESTCONNEX Action Group (WAG) welcomed Shadow Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese’s call for a Federal audit into WestCONnex today, but said this needed to be matched by a commitment to halt Federal funding of the $16.8 billion toll road to stop taxpayer dollars being wasted.

HUNDREDS of residents across the WestCONnex route came to WestCONnex Action Group (WAG)’s UPROOTED family picnic and tree-wrapping events on Sunday to protest the destruction that will be caused if the $16.8 billion toll road goes ahead.

ST PETERS families whose houses are being forcibly acquired for the WestCONnex toll road were devastated to learn they could lose their homes as early as next March after they received Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) letters confirming they have as little as 21 days to agree a sale price before the compulsory acquisition process starts.

RESIDENTS from across the WestCONnex route will come together on Sunday 6 December for UPROOTED, a family picnic and tree-wrapping event to highlight the community destruction the $16.8 billion toll road would cause.

PREMIER Mike Baird has been slammed for misleading the NSW public about WestCONnex yet again as he was forced to defend the way residents and business owners have been treated during the WestCONnex compulsory acquisition process.

HABERFIELD residents will be hosting a vintage car photo session tomorrow morning to protest the destruction WestCONnex will cause to their unique suburb, as part of the Haberfield Association’s Model T Ford Day.
