Trust needs to speak out now

An interesting letter in the Northern District Times, by Lesley Goldberg, commented on the failure of the Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust to speak out actively in defence of the Beecroft Shopping Village, against the Hornsby Shire Council and NSW government plan to rezone it for five story mixed development. Richard Talbot, who resigned from the Trust in protest, described the BCCT committee as a "council cheer squad".
