Lane Cove News Week in Review 17th to 22nd January 2021

Welcome to our week in review.

Parking Changes near Lane Cove Council Building

Lane Cove Council has reclaimed part of the outdoor parking near the Lane Cove Council building. The Public was allowed to use it for parking while The Canopy was being built. The public is no longer allowed to park in this area between 6 am and 6 pm.  The public is requested to park in the Little Street Car Park. (see our cover photo)

Dumping Continues

Our picture below shows the sight that greeted staff at St Michael’s several times last week. Before you chuck it out, check to see if items can be recycled or donated. Check out our A to Z of recycling in Lane Cove here.

New Business Alert

Running Bare has closed, and a new Pizza shop will open in its place.

NBN Scam

Several people have posted on Lane Cove Chat by ITC about an NBN scam that is happening at the moment.  One person posted the following.

“We have been contacted today by someone claiming to be from NBN, advising that our internet is not secure, and will be disconnected for maintenance. We were then asked to follow their steps on our computer keyboard. When asked for an address, they advised they were from Melbourne. Then when asked for a contact number hung up. Having researched, this is a scam, beware.”
