From the Maitland Mercury report:
Maitland has one of the most beautiful high streets in the state but we need to do more to protect it according to Greens heritage spokesman David Shoebridge MLC.
Speaking outside the National Trust Hunter regional committee annual general meeting at Grossmann House, Mr Shoebridge said there was a lot to be happy about when it came to the state’s heritage, but also a lot of work to do.
“Towns need to have something to make it special so that people want to visit and live there, and Maitland’s got it,” he said. “I think Maitland has one of the most beautiful High streets in NSW. I think it should be better protected in the decisions made by the local council.”
