Former Mayor thanks community for supporting Ring Bell campaign
Windsor Bridge has been removed although Hawkesbury City Council put a strong case forward to retain the historic bridge which was built in 1874.
Council also created a Windsor Bridge Survey on Your Hawkesbury Your Say asking people to vote if they would like to Save Windsor Bridge – Yes or No, with 85.7% of people voting to save the bridge. Sadly, the bridge was not saved with the NSW Government removing the bridge in 2020.
The former Mayor of Hawkesbury, Councillor Barry Calvert, had arranged for the survey to be conducted as part of community consultation.
