A letter from Lee Evans MP

Dear Residents,

We are in the midst of a once in a hundred year pandemic with the restrictions on our citizens the harshest in history. Understandably we are experiencing numerous emotions including anger, frustration and anxiety.

Residents of 2508 are blessed with the best nature can offer to take a walk and experience arguably the most beautiful environment in the world.

It’s important in these times to stay connected with loved ones albeit by phone, Zoom, FaceTime or by whatever means is available to you.

I know we are all reaching out to neighbours who don’t have family around especially the elderly so give them a call when you are heading out for provisions and offer to pick something up for them and if they say no, how about picking up a treat anyway?! Tolerance and kindness are powerful tools.

The Premier and NSW Government have the safety of their citizens as their highest priority and lockdown will not continue one minute longer than is needed. It’s up to all of us to continue doing the right thing and those that continue to flout the restrictions are those who are not only threatening our health but keeping all of us in lockdown.

If you are finding that things are getting on top of you, there is help, please don’t suffer in silence. Service NSW at www.service.nsw.gov.au has every support currently being offered by the NSW and Federal Governments.

We are all in this together and this is truly one of the biggest challenges faced by governments and citizens of NSW, Australia and indeed the world.

Life will improve as our vaccination rates rise protecting you, your family and our community. In the meantime please stay safe and be kind.

Lee Evans, Member for Heathcote
