Forbes Phoenix

From The Mayor’s Desk

This week we are extending our sympa­thies to the family, friends and extended family following the tragic accident on the road to Parkes. Our hearts are with you all at this time.

Reconstruction Authority will be in Forbes Tuesday to Thursday 23-25 July at the Forbes Town Hall to consult with our community about the Resilient Homes Program. These information sessions are for flood impacted locals to shape the pro­gram. Please do not miss these days – you can book online on nsw.gov.au/central-west-recovery, you can simply drop in or to book a session call 1800 844 085.

It is very important to be a part of this pro­gram – you will be able to view maps devel­oped by flood specialists and understand more about the Resilient Homes Program.

Also a big thank you to our Heated Pool users – this winter has resulted in some chronic condensation. After ongoing at­tempts to rectify the issue (including con­sulting a condensation expert) we have increased air input and airflow in the plant room and we have added louvre windows in the main part of the facility.

It has been a learning curve and we are making sure that in the long term we have a functional and well maintained heated pool facility. Now, we hope, the condensa­tion issues has been resolved we will be able to begin repainting and other remedia­tion works needed.

We do need pool users to please be mindful though, the pool can only operate at a temperature range of 24-28 degrees – we have had trouble with it being increased to 32. Unfortunately, this is a heated pool facility not a therapy pool and simply can­not be run at that high a temperature.

Thank you for your understanding.

God Bless
