Countdown to Water Futures Vote Begins

22 July 2006

By Natalie Gauld

NO Case Committee member Rosemary Morley is hardly off the phone these days.

Mrs Morley says there has been a huge groundswell of support since Clive Berghofer's No Case advertising supplement appeared inside The Chronicle and letterboxes this week.

"Since Clive's publication, there has been a huge amount of new people contacting us who are angry and upset," she said.

"They are getting legitimate information and now deciding which way they are going to vote.

"It's like a light has been shone on them.

"A lot of young people with families have contacted Clive and myself.

"It has become a matter of trust."

Mrs Morley said the No Case options would be explained for the final time on Wednesday, July 26, at a free public meeting at the Empire Theatre at 7pm.

"This is the last night for us. We will be putting experts and guest speakers up on the stage," she said.

"There will be a roving microphone so people can ask questions."

The three no councillors, Lyle Shelton, Keith Beer and Graham Barron, will address the meeting.

Mrs Morley, who is the Citizens Against Drinking Sewage co-ordinator, said about 1000 people had attended two CADS meetings in the past.

With one week to go until the water poll, the Toowoomba City Council is giving residents three more opportunities to find out more about the Water Futures proposal.

There will be a forum today at 10am in the Mayes Room, City Hall.

Manager of laboratory services Alan Kleinschmidt and director engineering services Kevin Flanagan will attend the forums.

There will be two forums on Wednesday, July 26, at 10am and 7pm at the same venue.
