General Manager Mark Ferguson assured residents that Council has upgraded its clean up services for those affected and will work closely with State Emergency Services, contractors and volunteers to clear large trees and other debris, as quickly as possible. “While safety for residents remains our first priority, we are focused on providing clean up support and services to displaced people and all our affected residents. “The clean-up is a mammoth task and I would like to thank residents in advance for their continued patience, as this major undertaking will take some time to complete. Council will be running additional clean ups of green waste and household furnishings damaged by the storm. “Residents can call Council for additional waste services and may also take storm debris to Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre for free disposal. To access free services at Kimbriki, residents will need to show a valid driver’s licence with current address or a valid parking sticker that shows they are a Northern Beaches residents (in the former ‘Pittwater’, ‘Warringah’ or ‘Manly’ areas). Residents will also need to quote ‘Storm Damage’ when passing the weighbridge. Over the weekend several Council staff were in the field during the height of the storm and flooding activity. There were also a number of SES volunteers assisting with fallen trees, damaged property and evacuation of residents. “I would like to sincerely thank all Council staff, emergency services and volunteers who worked through the weekend to help protect local residents, our environment and infrastructure. Extra waste services will be put in place over the coming weeks. Council will endeavour to clean up the waste as soon as possible. Please follow these guidelines. Vegetation clean up servicesAssistance and additional services for vegetation clean up will be provided for Northern Beaches residents:Please use existing green-lidded bin services for vegetation waste where possible Call Customer Service for additional collections if needed Leave vegetation on the kerbside in manageable stacks or in vegetation bins (no plastic bags please) Larger branches will be collected separately from the kerbside Take excess vegetation waste to Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre for free disposal.

Contact: Community Relations Phone: 9970 1119 Warning Dangerous Tree at Fitzpatrick Reserve. Above the steps on Fitzpatrick Reserve on Scotland island (the steps that lead up from just above Cargo Wharf ) a very large branch fell last night from the semi-dead massive tree that is eaten by termites adjacent to our home. The branch is hanging precariously up in the air above the track and is threatening power lines. It made a terrible noise last night when it cracked so I think the whole tree is at risk of collapsing so please everyone walking up there be careful. I have advised the Council and Ausgrid. Thanks to Colin and Adriana - 2 Robertson RoadLetters to the Editor...Thank youDear friendsI would like thank each and everyone of you for joining in the celebration of Bills life. I am sure he felt the warmth in the room as I did. Jacqueline Lee Bill LeeDear Editor,I was very sorry to hear Bill passed away, I didn't know he was sick. I met Bill at a CFU training day 4/5/2014. On that day I was so excited to be there I took pictures of the occasion, albeit not good ones but I thought I should share them with you anyway.
I remember Bill was one of the first people I met, we sat next to each other in the truck on our way to a location for training. It struck me how intelligent, polite, friendly and passionate he was about helping the community by being a CFU member. He and Penny took on a leadership roll after that day. I send my sincerest condolences to his family, the CFU and the island community. He was a gentlemen with great heart. Yours sincerely, Sylvia Tuz Missing Kayak Following last weekend’s recent storm we our two identical kayaks were washed away from our property on the north-western point of Scotland Island.
