Richard Amery Press Release - Rooty Hill Train Station Upgrade - Backs NSW Government, Once Completed!

Our Local members do become working local members, Richard Amery, Member for Mount Druitt has been supporting the upgrade for Rooty Hill Train Station for the last 15 years and is now smelling the scent of this actually happening in Rooty Hill in 2012, also mentioned is Doonside ( The Opposition Leaders seat: John Robertson):

ROOTY HILL RAIL STATION TO BE IMPROVED


Rooty Hill Railway Station will have its easy access lifts and elevators in 2012, State Member for Mount Druitt, Richard Amery, has predicted.


Now that all the major stations on the network have had their access improved over the last 15 years, the roll out of the other stations with lower ticket sales should commence in the New Year.


"Sources have confirmed that Rooty Hill will not be far off.  In fact, the O'Farrell Government will have given local candidates the 'heads up' on this project and advised them to get out in the community and get their fingerprints on the projects.  This is being done by taking up petitions and calling for the project to be commenced", Mr Amery said.


Rooty Hill Station, like Doonside in the neighbouring electorate of Blacktown, are in urgent need of this access as stairs are the only way you can get onto the platform, especially at Rooty Hill.


Seniors in particular have lobbied hard for the Rooty Hill project for years, just like they did for Mount Druitt Station many years ago.


"If the Liberal Government provides this facility, I will be happy to give them credit.  I don't care who has their 'back slapped' over easier access to the Rooty Hill Railway Station, as long as it is completed in the not too distant future", Mr Amery concluded.
