Councillor Fiona Creed wishes BMORC well with Knapsack Downhill project
Once again BMORC has been fortunate receive support from one of the Ward 4 Blue Mountains Councillors , Councillor Fiona Creed. Whilst unable to attend an 11th hour invite to view the new alignment for the downhill track at Knapsack, Councillor Creed made sure to get in touch and wish us good luck with the project. Given the missed opportunity due to the very short notice to see the positivity in the new alignment for the proposed downhill track, BMORC have extended a 2nd opportunity for the good councillor to attend the site and gain an on the ground appreciation.
