Our Crime Forum was a key player in hiving off of the Lower Hunter Command from Maitland and the construction of our new Raymond Terrace Station.” “Tilligerry was promised two and a half permanent police and a new station. PSC was happy to donate the land in RAF Park.” “I now hear rumours of withdrawing police, shutting the LTP station and establishing a ‘shopfront’ for police when they come to town.” “I will clear the air with this one. I have recently retired and have much more time now to devote to community and council issues.” By Geoff WALKER
