Manning Park mountain bike trail concept Letter to the Editor

City of Cockburn Letter to the Editor, Fremantle Herald, correcting misinformation in article published 5.9.20 ‘Reduced bike trails get association nod’ -

Thanks for your ongoing interest in the future of Manning Park; the City is very pleased that so many sections of our community are as passionate as we are about this treasured and unique natural asset in the heart of the western sector of the Cockburn community.
 
Last week’s article Reduced bike trails get association nod P5, 5.9.20 says “the council has established a new committee of experts and resident provide feedback on the new design” (sic).
This is incorrect. At this time no committee of experts or residents has been formed in relation to the mountain bike concept plan as indicated in the article.
We intend to form a working group and further involve the community but are still currently working through this process.
We encourage interested parties to keep an eye on City communication channels for more information about this in coming weeks.
 
Thanks,
Chris Beaton,
Manager, Environmental Services
City of Cockburn
