CAWB Opens 'War Office'
Jennifer Butler1 August 2012
On 29 July 2012 CAWB opened its War Office to much fanfare. CAWB supporters rallied to our new shop front and helped us celebrate our new home in Thompson Square. We were joined by special guest seakers including Green Bans Legend, Jack Mundey and Deputy of the Opposition, Linda Burney. Local Councillors Leigh Williams, Christine Paine and Barry Calvert also attended and spoke passionately about the issues affecting Windsor and Thompson Square in particular.
Adding to the revelry, horseback riders rode across the existing Windsor Bridge and into Thompson Square. They served as a powerful reminder of how dramatically traffic conditions have changed over the past 217 years in the area.

The riders clearly demonstrated that today's traffic use was beyond all contemplation when Thompson Square was first established in 1795. The juxtaposition of the light horses and heavy trucks clearly showed that today's traffic demands are completely unsuited to the original design and character of the precinct.The horsemen and women proudly hoisted the Eureka Flag in front of our office, reminding us of our commitment to the fight for Thompson Square. It sent a clear message - CAWB is here to stay and we won't go away! Read about it in the Rouse Hill Times.
