A blog for the local community

As you can see, Carindale Connect is now using a blog. We really should have done it from the start, as the site has become more than just a listing of events.

We moved some of our stories from the previous news section into the blog. The discussion from the Scrub Rd extension and the Fig tree removal are still on the non-blog section of the site. Future discussion of these issues will now take place on the blog, but they will be important to see in the context of the earlier discussion.

The way that the fig tree issue was debated and a strong fight put up to save the tree - but then removed in the early hours of the morning to the surprise of residents and the council it something that should not be forgotten (and it still gets me very angry!). I think it’s great that these discussions have been documented to some extent at least.

Using the blog for your commentary, will help us to make the community discussion even more efficient and easy. If there is something that you would like us to raise in the blog, rather than adding your comments to an existing post, email info@carindaleconnect.com.au

The blog should reflect the community - so discussions can be about big issues such as the environment, roads etc or just be about a great local restaurant you went to.

Also - be nice. You can be angry, opinionated, passionate … but … just be nice! Don’t get it? Here’s a bit more.
