At the December ordinary meeting of Council held last night, Watts ward Councillor Lara Carli tabled a petition from residents requesting Council issue an order to demolish the burnt out shell of what was once the Diggers Rest Hotel.
It is expected that Council will respond in writing to each signatory in response to the individual letters presented in chamber.
Whilst it is not likely that Council will act on the requests, it is fair to say that the petition will continue to apply pressure in search of a favourable outcome for Diggers Rest.
The hotel was destroyed by fire on October 30, 2008.
