Things are getting better

CONGRATULATIONS on your first edition

There has been a void created by the demise of the Barrier Daily Truth.

Local news, events and points of view had disappeared.

Your first edition has done a great service to the town.

May I say congratulations to Broken Hill City Council Mayor Tom Kennedy and his team.

The town now appears to have turned a corner with works being carried out on roads, footpaths and other infrastructure.

The current power crisis has been a long time coming with little to no apparent maintenance on the towers supporting the transmission line.

Broken Hill urgently needs back up generators stationed here for any future outages.

I hope the inquiry into this mess will find all faults and make sure we get action to remedy them.

Thanks for your teamwork to publish news from Broken Hill and District.
