Motion to Ashfield Council
Cr Dr Marc Rerceretnam
Cr Lance Dale
Cr Mary Hawkins
Preamble:
There is little doubt that Ashfield’s Town Centre along Liverpool Road is in need of rejuvenation. According to many local residents, Ashfield Town Centre has deteriorated dramatically since the late 1970s.
Ashfield Town Centre has been degraded by the demolition of our historic Town Hall, Kings Cinema and the 1981 deal to develop Ashfield Mall that arguably did little to enhance the Ashfield Town Centre.
The shopping strip has deteriorated to such a level that many local residents avoid the area.
