Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my views and concerns regarding the imminent Mayoral election. I have recently reached out to our local councillors, reminding them of the importance of their votes and the values we, as a community, expect from our mayor and council. It is crucial that they are aware of the standards of conduct we want from them.
The Mayoral election is set to take place this evening, and I urge engaged community members to communicate their expectations to all councillors. Sending them an email detailing what your envision for our next mayor, might influence their voting decisions significantly (one can only hope).
In the meantime, I am happy to share my letter as a thought starter.
Yours sincerely,
Fiona H

Bee Parasite Crisis Deepens in Hawkesbury Region
The Hawkesbury region is facing an escalating spring crisis with the relentless spread of the varroa mite, a bee parasite that attacks and feeds on honey bees.
Australia had enjoyed historical protection against the varroa mite, scientifically known as Varroa destructor, primarily due to its geographical isolation, until the mite’s presence was confirmed at the Port of Newcastle just over a year ago.Â

Mayor behind Liberal Councillor’s dumping
The NSW Division of the Liberal Party has handed long time Hawkesbury Councillor Nathan Zamprogno a three-year suspension from the party, amidst growing tension in the council.Â
The reason he was suspended included complaints that he would not support Liberal backed motions in favour of developers, land clearing or infrastructure that affected heritage sites – and that he did not vote for Labor’s Barry Calvert for deputy mayor.
The motion to remove Cr Zamprogno from the Liberal Party was championed by Hawkesbury Mayor Sarah McMahon, and her predecessor, Cr Patrick Conolly, according to internal Liberal Party documents.
