Went for my usual Saturday constitutional this morning and noticed the 'heritage' maker on the Esplanade boardwalk near the Willi Lifesaving Club. The image is taken from a photograph of a rescue crew from yesteryear and an acknowledgement by the City of Hobsons Bay thanks the Williamstown Historical Society for permission to reproduce it. That would be the same 'City of Hobsons Bay' as the one trying to boot the Historical Society out of their longstanding meeting room at the Mechanics Institute, presumably. I understand that the Altona Lifesaving Club aren't too happy with the way that our beloved council does business either.

Unfortunately, Mary, it's yet another instance of our paid officials running Hobsons Bay to suit themselves. Of course, if they were properly directed by councillors who put the interests of ratepayers first, they wouldn't be able to ride roughshod over voluntary organisations which have been serving the community for years. The fact that the meeting room in the Mechanics contains valuables such as Honour Rolls which could be at risk if it was let to anyone with the council's asking price is one that the brains trust refuse to address.
