“The position of Marjorie Jackson is an extremely contentious issue with the community,” Cr Statham stated in the motion.
“I believe along with the community it has a right to be the feature in the plaza. It will be a fantastic goodwill gesture for this to occur from Lithgow City Council and the current councillors.
“Not many towns or cities in Australia can boast that someone from their LGA has done what Marjorie Jackson has done for our LGA and in particular Lithgow.”
Many community members have expressed concern for where Marjorie Jackson has been placed in case of vandalism.
The item will be discussed at council’s meeting on Monday, July 23.
