A Sporting Chance

An open letter to the members of the Mitcham Football Club.  

Recently I spoke to your junior board regarding the need for more football grounds for juniors in Whitehorse. I have questioned the Springfield Ward Councillors, Ben Stennett and Philip Daw about Council's plans for the Silver Grove site and have been told that Council has no plans for that area. I was told that there are no multi-storey apartments or low income housing planned for that site. Mr Daw suggested that the area might become a shopping area. 

I believe that we have an opportunity to rescue the former Nunawading Football oval and return it to public use for Mitcham Juniors. I seek your assistance in achieving this. Please vote for me at the upcoming election. 

I want to see sporting clubs receive a fair share of the allocated budget, we seem to be the poor relation compared to other wards and nothing has changed in ten years since I was last on council. 

I need your number 1 vote because putting me second will risk watering down the votes through the preferential system. But do fill in the rest of the numbers on the ballot paper. Please vote for the strongest voice to represent you because "our community matters"!
