« parra news Tuesday, November 23, 2021 CUMBERLAND COUNCIL ELECTIONS - REGENTS PARK WARD Overdevelopment the Fresh faces and experienced councillors do battle for Regents Park Ward NICOLA BARTON Old and new faces will go head to head in the Regents Park Ward, while the city will say goodbye to a long-term Councillor. A number of key issues will be at the forefront of voters’ minds, namely overdevelopment and community presentation, as well as infrastructure and parking to cope with the increase in population. Incumbent Labor Councillor Kun Huang will recontest with running mates Sabrin Farooqui and Hope Atkins. Sitting Labor Councillor George Campbell will retire. Cr Huang said infrastructure, amenity and restoring community trust will be at the forefront of his campaign. “We want to stop the sale of John Street Car Park and Labor has put in a rescission motion against that,” he said. “We also want cleaner streets, green spaces, more trees, more exercise equipment and also to encourage residents to play a part in Council by re-establishing the community consultation committee. “I want to restore the community’s trust in the Council. They feel like their voice has been taken away by the abolishing of these important consultation committees, formerly the Youth and CALD committees.” Number two on the Labor ticket, Ms Farooqui is a local community activist, and number three, Ms Atkins is an English teacher and advocate for teachers and public educators. Hopeful to increase representation is Our Local Community’s Helen Hughes. Ms Hughes is a corporate governance officer who previously ran in the 2017 election as number two on Councillor Paul Garrard’s ticket. Her policies this time around surround improving cleanliness, parking and traffic with a focus on compliance. “I’m not happy with the way we are currently represented within the Regents Park Ward,” she said. “One of the things I’m most passionate about is compliance issues, particularly in regards to car parking and trucks; we can’t have trucks parking in residential areas and blocking driveways. “I am also concerned about rezoning of Regents Park and Berala next year when Labor candidate Sabrin Farooqui, Councillor Kun Huang and candidate Hope Atkins. the infrastructure is just not there.” Number two on the OLC ticket is Granville resident Joe Nehme, who has strong family ties to the Auburn area, and number three is Muhammad Ali, who is from Berala. Sitting Liberal Councillor Ned Attie will recontest as an independent after the Liberal party chose not to field candidates under the Liberal brand in this election.
