Snippets…

February 13, 2025 by Roxane Manley

Thanks to everyone for their patience while this work was being completed.

New Spring Street Footpath Open: 12,500 pavers later, the footpath on the northern side of Spring Street is now open to pedestrians. The path now matches beautifully with other footpaths in the CBD, with the same coloured pavers used to re­place the old concrete path.

R U OK? Welcoming a new child into the family is a happy occasion, but the momen­tous change that it brings can also impact a parent’s emotional wellbeing. Get tips for supporting new parents: https://ruok.au/Ash

Parkes Chamber of Commerce: Provide feedback to Parkes Shire Council on what our business community needs. Survey closes Sunday 16th Feburary 2025.

Central West Police District: Our com­munity are our eyes and ears. If you have information or if you see something that doesn’t make quite seem right Crime Stoppers NSW on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au

Art of Hope Australia: Healthcare Heroes these are for you! For each and every one of you who give everything of yourself to others – often for very little pay, reward and acknowledgement. There are so many in­credible people who support our health­care systems – I don’t want to mention any in particular because then I’ll leave other just as important ones out! But you know who you are extraordinary humans and so do your colleagues. A Heart of Hope is a small way to acknowledge someone who goes above and beyond. Get yours today at https://artofhope.com.au

Do you know a Healthcare Hero?
