Bring back the “Unley Way to Go” fair!

Replying to my gripe about the enormous cost (a total of $2million plus over the years) of hosting the King William Road party for the Tour Down Under  cycle extravaganza, fellow veteran Councillor Bob Schnell echoes my persistent pleas for the return of the annual “Unley Way  To Go ” fair.

Compared with the six-figure donation to KWR from the ratepayers, the Oval event showcasing all aspects of life in Unley was (very successfully) run on a shoestring and organised in-house . Sporting clubs, service clubs, local eateries, schools, volunteer groups, etc etc all took part and it had a great community feel about it. It should NEVER have been killed off.

Next year’s TDU should be our last.
