Shoalhaven Action Campaign

The Shoalhaven Action Campaign has announced that following its recent AGM Monica Taylor has accepted the position of Chairperson. Ms Taylor said that she is looking forward to the challenge of helping the association to grow as it continues to be a reliable and constructive influence in Shoalhaven Local Government. “We were instrumental in bringing about change in the recent Council elections and we are delighted to have helped two candidates into Council. We believe Robert Miller and John Fergusson will prove to be an asset to the city.

“Accountability, transparency and integrity were the keystones of our campaign and we were deeply concerned by the way the previous Council conducted its business,” Ms Taylor said. “Feedback from a range of people, and not just Action Campaign members and supporters, is that Council is behaving more decently and and the petty, nasty and childish behaviour that was a feature of previous Council meetings is gone.

“For the good of the city we hope this new behaviour continues,” said Ms Taylor who also added that the Action Campaign would be holding regular meetings throughout the Shoalhaven. “These meetings will be an opportunity for members to come together, meet with Councillors and discuss issues. Interested members of the public are also welcome to come along, see what the Action Campaign is all about and consider joining.”

The first of these meetings is next Wednesday the 19th November, starting at 7pm at the CWA hall in Wason Street Milton.
