Penrith. Council disappointed with delay

The NSW government will soon call for tenders for the Erskine Park Link Road with a completion date scheduled for 2013. Penrith Mayor, Kevin Crameri, has expressed his disappointment that the government was breaking its promise to begin work on the link before the end of the year. “This is an essential piece of infrastructure that we need now – not in three years’ time. This disadvantages not only Erskine Business Park, but also the entire city, and keeps industrial traffic clogging up our residential streets. I urge (the government) to commit to a much earlier date for completion,” he said.
