State Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson is seeking community input into an electorate-wide survey.

Mr Anderson, who is Gunnedah Shire’s representative in the Legislative Assembly, is distributing the survey via post.

The postage-paid initiative can be returned to the Tamworth electorate office for free.

Mr Anderson is asking for residents to have their say on the future of the region.

“The people who know our communities best are those who live here, live and breathe our region, and are passionate about our future,” Mr Anderson said.

“Too often, decisions about our future are made from ivory towers in Sydney by people who have no interest and no investment in our region.

“That leads to bad decisions and unworkable solutions that inevitably leave us worse off and our communities poorer.”

Mr Anderson said that is why he is asking for the local community to have their say, respond to his survey, and help shape the future of our region.

“Whether it’s health, roads, housing, education, community safety or local services, this is an opportunity for every voice to be heard and help shape the priorities I’ll continue to fight for,” Mr Anderson said. “To continue to do my job in parliament, I need the strong voice of our community behind me, so I’m encouraging every resident to help me by letting me know what their priorities and ideas are.”
