Carriage Cafe has a life
23 April 2009
Hi Folks,
We have very good news to report today.
Democracy is alive & well in Fremantle.
The Old Carriage Cafe was given the respect it deserves at the Fremantle City Council meeting last night.
A motion was put up by Councillor Jon Strachan to respect the wishes of over 13,000 concerned people in the Community to leave the Carriage Cafe on its site under the pines indefinitely.
This was passed unanimously.
Another motion was passed for us to enter into negotiations with the City to agree on a long term lease to give secure tenure. This lease agreement is to be ready for council to vote on by the end of May.
This is the results of the energy put into a campaign by people like yourselves who could see a plan in place by the Fremantle City Council Planning Department to "PLAN THE CARRIAGE OUT OF EXISTENCE".
On behalf of Judy & myself we would like to thank you all for your support here. Please call in for a coffee. (Please mention this Blog posting). Then we can talk about something a lot less stressful.
We can now take a rest from the stresses we have been under over the past 10 months and get on & do what we do best & offer a service to the visitors to the great City of Fremantle and its magnificent Esplanade Reserve and its ICON the Old Carriage Cafe.
Once again Many Thanks & have a lovely day.
Kel & Judy Smith
