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.

DRILLING works for the WestCONnex New M5 toll road were stopped yesterday after residents occupied the planned construction site in Terry Street Tempe.

Pauline Lockie of WestCONnex Action Group speaks to 2UE's Mike Jeffries about WestCONnex: why the Baird Government isn't being honest or transparent about WestCONnex, compulsory acquisitions, short-sighted road building and what's next for the campaign.

WESTCONNEX Action Group has demanded an immediate halt to the $16.8 billion WestCONnex toll road after Fairfax Media revealed more homes and businesses are likely to be acquired and destroyed to make way for the planned Rozelle and Camperdown interchanges.

Pauline Lockie of WestCONnex Action Group speaks to 2UE's Bill Woods about WestCONnex: its tolls, cost blowouts and looming failure to ease congestion, and the likely impact of unfiltered stacks and forced acquisitions in Rozelle, Lilyfield and Camperdown.

WESTCONNEX Action Group welcomed the release of a new independent review of the WestConnex business case, which confirmed the $16.8 billion toll road would be unlikely to recover its cost or ease traffic congestion.

WAG objects to both the failure of WestConnex to meet its stated core objectives and the manner in which these objectives were formulated.

WAG objects to the lack of transparency and proper process that has characterised the WestConnex project since its inception, and continues to do so with the New M5.
