'Children are forgotten'
It's absolutely disgraceful that children are the forgotten members of our community by council and seen as subordinate compared to other members.

Ken Halstead is correct.
The chipping away at these facilities will cause a complete erosion and they will remain only a distant memory.
What incentives do young families have to stay here or even come here?
Yes we have open spaces and nature surrounding us, but this is not always appealing to the younger members of our community.
Meanwhile the existing park near David Wood Playing Fields has chain wire fencing around it in disrepair for the past six months.
I'll be making a very direct submission to council.

Call for trees to be heritage listed
Re Station Street Pin Oaks. Southern Highlands is visited by people because of its greenery, old trees and the character.
The oak trees are the gateway and a landmark in the Highlands.
It takes at least 100-150 years for an oak tree to be mature.
If council cuts those oak trees to widen the road, Bowral will be no different to Sydney and visitors will go somewhere else.
Small country towns must preserve their character and heritage as there is not much of heritage anyway in comparison to Europe.
In Springfield (Blue Mountains) a row of oak trees along the railway is heritage listed.
The oak trees in Bowral must be heritage listed as well.
The widening of the road does not make any sense as Bowral is a small country town.
We need to look at alternatives as once the oak trees are gone they are gone for ever.
I am very disappointed that council can even contemplate such solution.
