Suburb society

Last week I had a phone call from Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapleton, who told me that it was now confirmed that we are not to have to have our name of Cranbourne East changed.
Now I have let some of our friends know today who jumped with joy at the news.
Myself, I am so grateful to all who helped sign my petition.
For that I thank you and it just goes to show you, if one feels strongly enough about anything then they should make a stand.
After all, we live in a democratic society.
But I would also like to thank Amanda so much for believing in me and working to help us, too.
Jean Perry,
Cranbourne East.
