Subject: Lift Redfern: Letters to the Editor

 

Dear All,

 

With the page 2 mention of the campaign launch today in the Sydney Morning
Herald and hopefully something more tomorrow, we should start writing to the
Editor. 

 

You can also relate your letter to other articles on public transport
published by the Herald during these next few weeks.

 

Short and pithy works a treat with the Editor. 

 

Email Letters to the Editor at: letters at smh.com.au

 

All letters to the Herald must carry the sender's name, home address and day
and evening phone numbers. Pseudonyms are not accepted. Please do not send
email attachments. They do not acknowledge receipt of unpublished letters
unless the writer requests it. Ideally, letters will be a maximum of 200
words. By submitting your letter for publication you agree that they may
edit it for legal, space or other reasons and may, after publication in the
newspaper, republish it on the internet or in other media.

 

You can also send a version of your letter to your local community paper. 

 

Regards,

 

Michael Chapman

Councillor Support Officer

Redfern upgrade call

Redfern railway station needs an urgent

upgrade to cater for the people with

disabilities, a coalition of disability and

community groups says. The groups will

this morning launch a campaign to see lifts

installed at Redfern station, one of the

busiest points on Sydney's train network,

yet one with extremely poor disabled

access. The Lift Redfern campaign will aim

to collect 10,000 signatures and force a

debate on the issue in Parliament. The

campaign will be launched this morning by

the Disability Discrimination Commissioner,

Graeme lnnes, the Lord Mayor, Clover

Moore, the acting vice-chancellor of the

University of Sydney, Stephen Garton,

Sydney Greens councillor, Irene Doutney,

and community members.
