One of our possible new councillors wants to talk to us

Heather Cunsolo is running for City of Port Phillip in our ward. Due to Covid she can’t do the normal door knocking but she contacted me and would like to talk to us on a zoom call.

Voting starts early next week – She is proposing 3pm Thursday but has some flexibility.

She is the only candidate that has tried to make contact – that’s a good first step. More about her here

No more night time trucks…this year

Alice, the second TBM broke through at South Yarra on Saturday. This means that their is no more spoil to move from Edmund Herring oval until the two TBM’s head towards Flinders St in the new year.

There will still be DAYTIME trucks for some time.

Here is a video of parts of Millie being trucked past us in the early hours of Saturday morning.

City of Port Phillip elections

For your info the Council elections are coming up in October. They will be via a postal vote.

Jan and I have had a very good working relationship with the Mayor and our rep, Bernadene Voss. Unfortunately she is not running for election this time around.

I have today met with Bernadene and she highly commends Heather Cunsolo. Her website is http://www.heathercunsolo.com/ , I dropped a flyer in each letterbox with some more information.

I’ll try and meet with Heather (virtually) before election time and pass on further thoughts.

How many languages?

Someone asked me the other day if we had anyone in the building that Korean…I don’t know. I know it is a very different language but I know we have a Japanese speaker, I know we have someone who can read French and speak it a bit.

It made me think – what languages do our Botanica residents / owners speak??

Pander to my curiousity – what languages do we speak / read? Even if not well??
