SIR, – As a number of our new councillors, in their pre-election messaging pledged ‘community engagement and consultation’, it is indeed unfortunate that now, it seems they are unwilling to re-visit the decision of the location of the proposed café at the end of Firebrace Street on the Wimmera River.
The decision of the café location was made at the very end of the previous council’s tenure and could only be considered a divisive act.
It was again a failure of the previous council to listen to the views and opinions of the community.
Questions have been raised including the totally unjustified shifting of the drought proofing tanks, at considerable ratepayers’ expense.
