Severance fever taps Maidstone annexation push
Braybrook Shire Council hears a bid led by Menora P R Giles Russell and McKenna to have Mitchell Street to river and Rosamond Road area annexed to Footscray. The letter asks the minister to redraw boundaries, link Ashley Street and Lyons Street to the river, and create a continuous Footscray boundary. Residents fear river riding would split land haj and raise questions of rates and governance.
