Ed, The present makeup of the CVC is quite unbalanced with most Councillors representing the Valley’s urban population leaving rural rate payers with two councillors whose interests are in many ways opposed to those whose living is earned from the husbandry of their land. The CVC should be expanded to give this large and far flung community a representation they have not had since pre amalgamation days. I do hope that some of those in the bush will respond to this proposal. In so many issues your Local Government Council is the most important level of government you have. Thomas Macindoe, Yamba
