Hi Andrew, I was Vice-President of BNSW for 17 years (1983-2001, President 1995/96). I've been speaking to one of my contacts about the appalling way you've been treated by North Sydney Council. I'd like to speak to you about this matter. Would you please contact me on 9906 7238, 0405 404 005, webberrus@gmail.com , north_shore_bike@yahoo.com.au or info@sydneyharbourlink.com
