Council backs CSG fight

IT MAY be one of the Clarence Valley's outermost communities, but the Ewingar voice was heard loud and clear in the busy council chambers yesterday afternoon during debate about the future of coal seam gas mining.

In a deputation to council during the environment, economic and community committee meeting, councillors heard how, from the mighty Clarence River's upper reaches, it take four days for the water to travel from Ewingar and any damage in the north would quickly filter down.

Representative from the Ewingar community, Susanne Hopfner, and local John Edwards, spoke in support of a notice of motion put forward by Cr Sue Hughes.
