COMMUNITY SAFETY AND LOCAL CRIME

Posted on by

ARAG is organising a meeting in Mid-November at the Alexandria Town Hall to discuss the increase in crime and criminal activity in Alexandria, Erskineville, Newtown and the surrounding areas.

The NSW Police will be coming to the meeting and we hope to be able to discuss the situation and what we can do together to improve the safety and security of our homes, property and neighbourhood.

In preparation for the meeting, we need to gauge the number and type of criminal events that have been occurring, so would appreciate it if you could complete this simple survey.

Thank you!

Input to locations of Share Bikes

Posted on by

The City of Sydney has established an email so that the community can identify locations for share bikes in our suburb. At any time, there are over 10,000 bikes in our Local Government Area and sometimes it feels that most of them are in Alexandria.

The City of Sydney is working with the State Government and the providers to introduce regulations to better manage and control the bikes.

Meanwhile, bikes have become a bit of a plague in our streets, with users randomly leaving them wherever they dismount, with very little consideration for other users of footpaths.

We know that setting up designated parking areas is a concept that can be better managed in the CBD, but If you would like to provide Council with some ideas on suitable locations in Alexandria or our neighbouring suburbs, you can send an email to: OnStreetBikeParking@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au
