Tell us your Story
We have heard from a number of landholders who have been invited to meet with Council, or had Council visit their properties, in regards to the Rail Trail construction adjacent to their land.
Many of these Tweed Residents, who have spoken to us, feel they have not been heard or had their concerns addressed. They speak of anger, despair and a sense of defeat.
