This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

You Won't Get This In The City Of Perth

Click to enlarge
TravelSmart is all about people. It's about giving people real travel alternatives to driving their cars and helping them to be aware of and to use those alternatives.

The City of Perth, with its CBD focus, is about what it sees as 'bigger' issues.

According to the City of Perth website, it's sole involvement with TravelSmart appears to be "the development and implementation of a workplace Green Transport Plan through the TravelSmart program" - an inward-looking corporate initiative rather than something that assists the people of Perth or visitors to Perth to travel more sustainably.

As one of the originators of TravelSmart in WA (and that means in the world - because TravelSmart started here and has been exported to other states of Australia and to overseas), I congratulate John Carey and the City of Vincent.

I look forward to continuing successful initiatives from the City of Vincent - and, yes, that does mean I expect the City of Vincent to survive.
